We have recieved a letter asking for our help. We need to write a report all about hedgehogs. We have been looking at the features of a report – title, sub headings, paragraphs, questions, diagrams and photos. We used non-fiction books and QR codes to search the Internet. This is where we have got up to today.
A baby hedgeog is called a hoglet.
It is Ruby. Well done.
Wow! I would really like to see some of your finished reports Year 2!
What have you found out so far?
what do hedgehogs do in winter?
Hi Gracie,
In winter when food is in short supply hedgehogs will hibernate, this means they will go to sleep for the winter and wake up in the spring when their food source returns.
Hope this answers your question and if you have any more I will be happy to answer them.

I really enjoyed it when Mrs Cowdell brought Maisy her hedgehog into school and I liked it when we got to ask questions.
Thank you Finley,
If you have any more questions about hedgehogs I would be happy to answer them.

Looks like she’s really enjoying the programme.
How do you look after hedgehogs?
Is there different hedgehogs in the world ?
HOW OLD DO HEDGEHOGS LIVE UPTO ?
Hi Macey
I rehabilitate hedgehogs so they are ready to return to the wild. When they come to me I set them up in a hutch and make sure they have a nest to hibernate in for the winter and make sure they have plenty of food and water. Once they are big enough to return to the wild I choose a suitable spot for their release.
There are many varieties of hedgehogs but the ones you are most likely to see are the European Hedgehog.
In the wild the larger species of hedgehogs will live 4-7 years.
