Well done to Cruz Carey. This week he found a stray hedgehog we found who was dehydrated and separated from its family. When he got it home Cruz put it into some shade and gave him a drink. Next his family contacted the Essex wildlife Centre in Orsett. They told Cruz to take it to them and they would look after it. On arrival a vet checked the hedgehog over and told him it was only 3weeks old! Luckily, thanks to Cruz's intervention, the little hedgehog will be healthy and happy in no time. The rangers thanked Cruz and asked him to tell all his classmates that we must look after and care for all animals in this heat.
An interesting - but also very sad - fact, is that by time Cruz becomes an adult, it is likely that all the hedgehogs will be extinct due to the loss of their habitat.
Well done Cruz for being kind and polite to everyone you meet - even including small mammals with spines!
