Finally after weeks of treatment, came time to release the hedgehog mom 👌
Her wound is at that point nearly healed and while I could keep her until she was completely recovered, I chose not to for obvious reason - hibernation. She needs time to find a place and to prepare. Thus, keeping her any longer would also mean I'd have to keep her for the entire winter. Days are getting short and cold, it was about time.
Her injury is now no longer a risk to her, neither is cripping her in any way.
As for the place of release and why it looks so... bizarre - it's a very old dog house in our backyard nobody (but apparently hedgehogs! 😆) uses anymore. And said dog house was exactly the place I found her near to, to begin with, both her and her babies.
So while her kids were released further away, into the wilderness, her I decided to release exactly where I found her. From here, she can go wherever she wishes to go, as a fully grow, exceptionally large female she's more than used to the near forest suburbs.
Best of luck on your hibernation, mama hedgehog, and may you have many more kids in the future! 👍
