Hi there, I hope Maddy comes out of hibernation ok..she certainly looks good now!! 'hedgies' do wake up at intervals...during hibernation...for a snack!!>"<

They can seem dead to the world...even a distrubed heggie will take a while to wake up.......>"<

I feed hedgehogs here in my garden in Peterborough Cambs U.K....they are all hiberanting at mo...i found a hedgie out in day light back in September '08 sadly it had pneumonia and one eye...it also had 'old injuries' of a broken jaw that had healed, my lovely vet put him to sleep, as was kinder.>"<

If a hedgie doesn't get enough food when it comes out of hibernation , they can get 'lung worm' hence hedgies fresh out of hibernation need feeding up..NEVER EVER ever give Milk and WHITE bread!!! they can not cope with milk in their tums, it kills them...you can give all that Maddy enjoys, making sure the cat food ISN'T FISH flavour as again their tums cannot cope with fish oil...you can give crushed up weetabix /cearals and WATER...sultanas >"<
