TWO RARE ALBINO hedgehogs have been rescued in Northumberland, England.
The hedgehogs were dropped off with Carole Catchpole, founder of the hedgehog rescue centre in Longframlington. Catchpole set up the Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue Trust in 1998 and claims to have cared for up to 400 hedgehogs every year without seeing one single albino.
According to the BBC, she plans to look after them until they’re well enough to return to the wild , but their rare colouring makes them ”less able to thrive”.
Albie is roughly the same weight as Tughall so we are just building them up until they are a suitable release weight. They need to be somewhere we know they are going to be safe and no member of the public will find them.
The pair were found 20km apart, so Catchpole doesn’t think they’re even related.
