Hedgehog update...

After a call to the SPCA and some more googling here's what I've found out:

• vets will assess hedgehogs for free as they are classed as 'wildlife'
• the SPCA will not euthanase the hedgehog just because it is a 'pest'
• although hedgehogs are an introduced species and have a large impact of New Zealand's ecology there is very little in the way of a management or eradication plan (except for the gulf islands)

So after school/kindy pick up today I'm going to take it to a vet.
