Inside this local 'hogspital' the admission of injured hedgehogs just keep coming.
Hutches house the sick and injured as volunteers do their best to nurse them back to health. But in recent weeks Hope for Hedgehogs, in Woodside, Ryton, has seen a spike in the number of hedgehogs in desperate need of their care.
Amputated limbs, broken bones and even one hedgehog with half its face torn away are just some of the injuries sustained by the charity's recent admissions. And sadly some are too injured to be treated.
