Little 'Holly' she is now big enough to go out...
The new 'Home Sweet Home'....Socksy is checking it out !!
My Mam and Holly....moving into her New Home !!
Causing a bit of a stir !!...Norris and Lambsy is curious.....
From house to new Home....a little success story of the little Hedgehog.....A slightly prickly story tonight....
About 3 months ago, my parents were visiting my Aunty, in the garden they noticed a little hedgehog, it was tiny and not very well. My mam decided to take it to the vets for treatment. The little hedgehog visited the vets a couple of times and was given Baytril injections, as it was suspected that it had pneumonia. It was touch and go, as to whether this little hedgehog would survive. We think it is a she..and she was nursed round the clock, placed on an electric blanket to keep her temperature consistent. When she was found she was only 3.5ozs and wasn't the size of a tennis ball !!
She continued to make good progress and was fed a gourmet diet of all sorts of things from banana, peanuts, cat food and meal worms. Needless to say she has thrived and grown lots, she has made two trips from Co Durham where my parents live to Scotland where she will now live in my fenced orchard. This little hedgehog has been named as 'Holly' as she is now in a new small enclosure with three Holly Trees......
So this is her first night out on the town..so to speak...and she is making the transition from being rescued to being able to live a happy safe life, doing what Hedgehogs do.
We have today made a custom made new 'Home Sweet Home' for this little prickly friend....we have sneaked out tonight to see if she has managed to find her way out into her new enclosure....and obviously she has...found her way out of her new home, she was tucking into her supper...when we checked and no doubt she will have a good look round her new larger stomping ground.
I shall be checking on her tomorrow...just to make sure she has found her way back home.....I hope to find her sleeping in her lovely new home...during daylight hours.....
I will keep you posted, as to how we get on....so there is a new slightly 'prickly' addition to the Zanzibah bunch...long may she have a happy little life here.....

Looks like Holly has a lovely new home!

Aaaaaahh - nice!
Hi everyone,
Just a quick note as I have a few minutes free.
We just wanted to say what a great day Les and I had at Zanzibah Alpacas last Monday. It was lovely to meet Jayne and her parents.
What an astonishingly beautiful place that is. Jayne you are very lucky to live there.
You are also very brave and we both admire what you have done so much. It sinks home how much when you visit the farm and see what Jayne has done. You are an inspiration to us.
And as for the animals. I can honestly say, you will rarely see alpacas that look in such wonderful condition.
The whole farm is a credit to you Jayne and you should be very proud. Thanks so much for looking after us. Can't wait to meet you again.
Rob n Les xx
