Public urged to help dehydrated wildlife
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society is calling on the public to leave out a bowl of water to help dehydrated wildlife.
With the hot weather showing no sign of relenting, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society is calling on members of the public to provide water for dehydrated wildlife.
Chief executive Fay Vass said: “With the very hot dry weather hedgehogs and other wildlife are struggling to find natural sources of water, and the ground is so dry and hard that their natural food is hard to come by too.”
“The Charity is asking that everyone takes a few moments to ensure there are some shallow bowls of water in their gardens and, if possible, some hedgehog food or meaty cat or dog food for prickly visitors to enjoy as well.”
BSAVA is to partner with BVA Live (11-12 June 2026) to champion clinical research.
