THE European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is probably the most frequently treated wild mammal in Britain. Its small size, relative tolerance of human interference and non‐aggressive nature make it an ideal species for rehabilitators. The wide range of clinical problems encountered also make it a fascinating subject for the veterinarian.
