Removing Ticks from Wild Hedgehog & tips 18jul16 Cambs UK 102a 

Seems like the 'Hogs are spreading the good word about the "Tick -Removing Spa Treatment" that comes via entering your garden. Bless your good work and gentle care, sir. ;)

She's so cute! It's amazing how calm she is and how much she trusts you.

Aww poor hedgehog 😩😪 She is Soo calm sweet hedgie 😊❤️

I'm so pleased to see you using the Tick Twister tool. I see the Hedgies are getting accustomed to being handled!!! WELL DONE!!!

I would pay to see the ticks get smashed

poor sonic

God bless you for helping this sweet wild hedgehog 😊😇

This is absolutely shocking to me how gigantic these ticks are! Keep up the good work. These hedgehogs are absolutely gorgeous little creatures. Pat yourself on the back, you are putting positivity out into the universe with every hh made tick free and every educational video you make. You're a lovely person sir.

It's crazy how different domestic and wild hedgehogs look

Just a suggestion a GoPro camera with a head strap mount might save you a lot of time getting the angles and shots you want without having to keep readjusting. Giving you more time to get even more ticks! :)

We need more people like you, the one who helps and cares for wild animals.YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

Thank you so much you've given me the confidence to get on on and deal with the ticks that are on my garden hedgehogs. I removed 30 ticks from each of my 3 dogs after a visit to Exmoor last year, but I thought it would frighten the hogs if I handled them. I'm super squeamish and don't like killing anything but OMG these ticks are just vile. Bless You.

I live in Germany and I have a pet hedghehog.He is one years old and I bought him when was 50 days. I love him. You are engel. Excuse me, my English no so good

hey i'm sorry to bother you! i work as a hedgehog rescue center in the netherlands. i think it's really great what you do but i just what to say to be careful when handling wild hedgehogs. the animals may be infected with worm infections, pests, fungus or other non-visible diseases. They need specific medical care, which is only available in specialized hedgehog shelters. Hedgehogs are protected animals, it is therefore forbidden to care for the animals themselves. A hedgehog is in need if : If he is injured (a hedgehog that stinks, is certainly injured) - If there are flies or maggots on it - If he is caught in something - If he is not rolled up and has his eyes closed - If he does not roll up when you turn him on his side - If he has cough of dirty eyes - When he wiggles back and forth - If he walks around in circles - If he threatens to drown in a pool pond - If all the spines are flat, even if you touch them - If his winter test is disturbed and can not stay there anymore a hedgehog that walks around during the day doesn't have to be sick but most of the times they are. i'm sorry for my shitty english and the long reaction

glad someone takes time to look after hedgehogs

They really do look like white chocolate covered raisins😁😂😂😂 People like you should always be shown respect ☺

Hi I watched your video and would like to say thank you. It really helped me out with a tick my dog had on her brow. After getting it off with the tools you have I then noticed really tiny ones near the same place so I brought some tick tablets. I think we have hedgehogs in our garden. Not sure if my dog had tried to pick one up and caught a tick that way. I absolutely love what you're doing for the hedgehogs ❤ Great work 🙂

yay!!! an English youtuber!!!

I do hate those damn ticks. Love hedgehogs.

Touch the small ones with a cutip drenched in acetone, they usually let go. It's sad to have the hedgehog suffer while waiting for the ticks to grow big.

I pull ticks off with my hands off my horses no problem lol I twist them with my hands never had a problem. Nice to see someone helping out such beautiful creatures though keep it up

That hedgehog is so amazingly calm. I'm in love. This one looks different than the pets people usually have in America. I prefer the way this one looks.

When I was little, we found a dog with ticks and my grandma and I removed all the ticks by HAND. Idk what I was thinking for not wearing gloves, but I had good intentions at least

He missed one on it's bum

Thanks for doing this for these little hedgehogs!

5:10 “This video is going to end up being 20 mins long” Bruh

thank you for you're dedication and info

Hi, thanks for posting videos, I've found them really helpful and have removed some ticks from the many hedgehogsThat frequent my garden. I've got one particular resident female that has got quite a cluster of ticks around her face.I had trouble trying to get her to uncurl from a ball , using the technique that you make look so easy, let alone trying to remove all the ticks in such a sensitive area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, best regards, pete

I saw one by her but

I’ve never EVER seen ticks with such long legs and massive body size?!?! They’re monster ticks !

what a sweet, cooperative hoggle! Glad to see someone's looking after her

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the info, I have several hedgehogs in and out of my garden and up until now have left them alone for the majority. I’ve just spotted a great big tick on one of them by an eye hence why I am here! I can’t wait to try and help them. I would love to know what paint you use to mark them so as you can identify them? As I wouldn’t want to harm them. Thankyou in advance

Hi, I live in 'Oz', wish we had little cuties like her to look after occasionally instead if we go hunting in our gardens we're likely to step on a taipan or red belly black snake or a funnel web spider or even a frilled neck lizard, there are cute marsupials like sugar gliders & the like but they mainly come out at night and are very timid and not easily caught which is a good thing, wild animals should be left to their own devices and know how, the law of nature, although you offer these gorgeous creatures some respite from those ghastly poisonous ticks while also giving them healthy food to eat, great job & very well done...

they look like beans

hi do wild hedgehogs bite..I found one this morn in my shed.. she had huge ticks on her one fell off..ordered the tools to help but she looked like was going to bite. wasn't sure if pg...

Thank goodness for such a good hearted person!! Taking care of these little guys💓✨

Well shit ... I twisted it off with bare hands, but I removed it and kill it with fire.

"You know what I'm gonna do dont you?" *immediately raises quills*

So nice of you to do this im surprised they haven't spread the word to there buddies and have a line outside your house of wild animals looking to get a free tick removal session lmao

If you put a hedgehog in a very small amount of warm water, enough to get their feet wet, they won't curl.

Obrigado por salvar o animal paravens 🥰

Ticks have given me Lyme disease twice its horrible

Who else wanted him to squish those fat ticks? 😂

Yours was the first video I looked at to remove our poor babies ticks. Thank you 🥰

What a calm cooperative little hedgehog!

*God, how I HATE ticks!*

He must love all the pushing and pulling about!

Please can you post more hedgehog video?

i love what you do , thank you for helping our little hedgehog friends

Little lovely hedgi

Hedgehogs are my favorite animal, so I'm so glad the ticks are removed and they're happy

To catch thieves in the act to provide Police with evidence you could try and use something like a “ trail cam “ a Camera designed for filming wildlife that has a motion sensor so it only starts recording to a sdcard when something moves within its field of view. Unlike CCTV that you would need to leave recording 24 hours a day and then somehow find the time to look back through hours of footage to find the point where something happened after it happened. I know about “Ring” branded doorbells but they would be fixed in one spot on your door and that may not cover the area you need to protect eg you may not park your car right in front of your car door. Or if you have thieves coming over your rear garden fence etc to look in sheds for example a camera on your front door isn’t going to help. I Bought a number of a brand called “ Bushnell” after seeing them used on a very good BBC TV show where they were trying to film rare animals in a jungle somewhere. The model I bought was called a “ Bushnell 119440 “ they vary in price so shop around Amazon is not the best price quite often these days so shop around www.amazon.co.uk/Bushnell-119440-Nature-Camera-Colour/dp/B00AU6E2TO they were averaging £260 each in June 2014 on Amazon when some shops were advertising them for up to £340 ! , as I still use mine I can show you how to set this model up. They can record in infrared even if its pitch black outside ( video will look black and white when recorded at night) or in Colour that’s full HD 1080p quality in daylight. I set mine to record for 60seconds at a time when its triggered.( you can set them to record for shorter chunks of time if you wish) By now late 2019 the model number has likely changed to some newer model but they will be very similar. They run off 12 AA batterys. There is a forum about trail cameras i used www.chasingame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=22 where people discuss the latest models of this product category so by all means join that to find out more. You get a nylon material strap to attach the camera trap to trees etc but depending on where you intend to set it up you might want to buy a metal case to put it in that’s lockable so thieves cant take it. camlockbox.com/ is where I bought the metal case designed to fit the Bushnell 119440 exactly ( you will need to buy a case that fits the exact camera trap model you purchase so that it doesn’t block any sensor etc) buy Master lock python cable locks to secure the camera and case to a tree or post etc store.camlockbox.com/master-lock-camo-python-cable-8418kadcamo/ Here is a video of mine that shows the equipment I use “ Hedgehogs & Bushnell camera trap 24oct14 Cambridge UK 938p ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Hl6SeZ6pEs.html if you go to my RU-vid account ru-vid.comvideos then click on playlists then click created playlists then scroll down until you find the playlist called “ Bushnell Camera traps DIY etc 29oct14” which is this link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NPgTjRjDH68.html watch those videos to see the equipment I use and a way to hide them very well so thieves or wildlife cant see them . I also bought another thing to put out more infrared light at night to boost the quality of recording I was getting at night you will see it mentioned in my videos. They are called Uway xtendir and I bought them online from Canada or USA( they use 4x D Cell batterys) they made a big difference to the quality of records filmed when its dark and are amazing if filming wildlife that within 5 or 6 feet of the camera. Another playlist to look at is “ Camera traps for wildlife “ which is this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mh54e175VOU.html you will see the incredible quality Bushnell’s can film in Also look in Hedgehogs 15oct14 playlist here and you will see videos I recorded using the camera traps ru-vid.com/group/PLiVKwaUJvwmUzIF0A3J985Fl1UL4ppzKt There are other makes and models of camera traps out there but in general the cheaper they are the lower the quality so if your trying to protect your car/home/garden/shed etc from thieves I would buy the better brands eg Bushnell & if there is a spate of thefts in your area set up multiple cameras if you can afford to. Remember to read up on the law of using CCTV on your property eg www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property/domestic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property Hope this helps Dave Ps as I said im happy to answer questions if you post them on my RU-vid videos ( post a comment on the relevant video ) I will see them most days when I look at comments I get on all my videos and I will reply back usually within 24-48 hours , thanks If you think theyre going to steal your Car fit a tracking device to the car, fairly cheap sim card based trackers are on Ebay etc .

Bless your heart for helping her ❤️

Thank you for doing this. God bless you! 💕

Aaaw so cute. I don’t have hedgehogs in my country and im amazed that it is a wild animal and is so calm. Also the tick removal is so satisfying to watch.

She's such a good little hedgi!

I love...I love... Brasil - Rio de Janeiro. Voces são anjos de Deus e Deus iluminara a vida de voces. Parabens...

The hedgehogs fur makes me cringe and freak out 😥😥but there so cute

I need a boiling hot shower and some steel wool.

great work all animals on this wonderful earth should be looked after by us

You do a great job taking care of these adorable little critters!

仕事場は絶えず美しくしましょう、掃除機で埃を吸って拭きましょう、それが職人です。

aww so cute and quite well behaved

How lovely of you to look after these little creatures. Love to listen to you, reminds me of my relatives over there! Great work. Wish we had hedgehogs, they’re adorable!

She looked SO adorable when she had herself rolled up in a ball while you were holding her. She must’ve felt so much better ❤️🥰 you’ve greatly improved their quality of life ! The amount of hedgehogs you’d get in your yard just shows they know where to go

Get some chickens, ends the tick problem!

Jak pies do jeża 🤪

Imagina o alívio do coitadinho, devia ta sofrendo. Bom trabalho

Wow thank you so much for making this video and thank you so much for taking care of the hedgehogs.

I don’t know what inspired you to do this but I’m sure the hedgehog appreciates it.

Ticks r gross

Poor hedgehog! Thank u guyz to help this little guy!

Co za łajza?☹️😖👎

The tick wiggles it's legs in the air My brain: *DISGUSTING*

Thanks for all these hedgehod👍👍👍 THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!😍 👏👏👏 all my respect from🇫🇷 I have just discovered your channel now.....

A man who takes time to help wildlife is a good man

Félicitations, vous avez retiré, les tiques, avec les tire tiques. Un grand MERCI à vous.👏👍👍🥰🌺

I have no idea why I keep watching you do that. None !! Well keep plucking away.

Thank you for helping them. You’re AMAZING!

Thank you for all you do these little guys need and love you!! Thank you for sharing these videos with us!!

Pobreciti, tan bonito y con ésa basura d plaga. Y como harán cuando no hay, quien los limpie??.

Wow normally hedgehog’s are shy but it’s so cool how she trusts you Edit:

I’m loving James Corden’s new content!

Lol ...you obviously have never lived in Africa...then you would know far more about ticks

Since these are purportedly "aviation videos" I assumed this would end with you making the hedgehog "fly." I'm glad I was wrong.

Fantastic informative video, many thanks for posting it. I have been feeding and looking out for hedgehogs for over ten years now, but the local "rescue" centres are, quite frankly, less than helpful 🤬. One of the local ones has even died without passing on his "knowledge" to anyone willing to give it a lash. At this time of year none are interested to help as they are full and will not give any further advice apart from try XYZ who are also "full" 🙄. I know the basics; bring them in, keep them warm, give the correct food and water but the rest of the required care is not forthcoming 😟. I know that they are wild animals and not pets but I care and want to see them healthy and safe in the wild. I have detained one for a couple of weeks and released it after two weeks in early summer after I found it poorly out and about during the day. I have also managed to overwinter one that I found that was way too small to survive at around about this time of year. I currently have another one in the detention centre since Friday as it was only 348g when I picked it up. I did spray it with "fly strike" straight away which at the very least seemed to piss the flees off (I suspect that they were dying while leaving the ship 😉 🤣) but it also has at least one tick that hasn't left the boat. I have ordered some tick removal tools (we have got some somewhere but it's cheaper and easier to order more 😉 🤣) but I would like to ask what you would recommend for other parasites and how you would administer them (mainly worms)? I have found some drugs but they are mostly by prescription only and previously I have found most vets less than helpful as well ☹ "have you tried this rescue place" Duh yes and they had just as shite a reply. Hope you can provide a little help and advice, stay safe and well, GIRL (it's a made up acronym, check out the "about" tab for details), cheers, Schnuz.

Good heavens, the poor dear! Thank you for looking out for hedgehogs and helping them! Oh my gosh.

I admire what you do for these hedgehogs ! Just really amazed that she didn't try to bite you whilst you were removing the ticks .... They are horrid little creatures ... Does that mean , that most hedgehogs carry the disease of Lyme ? I caught a little baby hedgehog ones ... the kids found it a nice animal to keep in an old bunny hatch in the shed for a week or so..... fed it wet catfood ( loved it !!! ) And bread soaked in milk . Reaĺly cute little animals .... with really soft feet / paws ..... Nice video / vlog , thanks for sharing ! Greetings , Herma from Down Under ( Melbourne ) .... 👍🍀🍀🍀

A couple questions, why are the ticks so prevalent ? The hedgehogs keep coming back several times a year...for...preening. also, how are the larvae dealt with ? You can't really see them can you ? And what would happen if no one did this for the hedgehogs ?

FYI, Sir, it's called Lyme disease (no s). It was discovered in Lyme, Connecticut

Whoa surprised your so hard on fucking ticks buddy, "disgusting" huh? I always had a little respect for them, at least they eat and let the animal they are using for sustenance survive, humans on the other hand.... thanks for taking care of this little fellow though!!!

My wild hedgehog in the garden has got some super tiny black ticks around his eyes. Much too small for the tool, and impossible to get a hold of with tweezers without getting his hair too. I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I wonder if oral medicine flea/tick meant for cats is ok for hedgehogs. At this point my hoglet is only 285 grams (I found him at 113 grams) though.

Poor thing. I know this was a while ago but too much talking. We get it your removing ticks. Doesn't anyone have a since of urgency anymore? Ticks are so very ugly. Thanks for helping the hedgehog.

One thing I don't get. Why do these insects drink THAT many. Clearly it can be way less...

Not complaining but why am I just now getting this in my in box? 4 years after first being made? RU-vid is broken.

poor sonic :(

MUITO ENROLO...EMBROMACAO...NÃO COMPENSA VER....TÔ FORA...FORA..

Hedgehog was very patient with the chap. It's a shame he was chatting so much. The video was very interesting. One happy hedgehog after.
