Admissions Data for 2024

Judy has been slaving over a hot calculator and has produced figures for our hedgehog admissions in 2024. The pie chart gives a good picture of the most common ailments and injuries we see. Internal parasites are the highest, with hoglets under 209g the next highest.

1,182 hedgehogs were admitted in 2024, a few more than in 2023 (1,124) and many more than in 2022 (826). We managed to save 80% of them.

We will also emergency admit other wildlife and overnight them before passing on to the appropriate rescues if we are not able to care for them. This year we took in 3 tawny owls, 3 field mice and 1 polecat.

The second graph shows monthly admissions and compares figures over the last four years.
