I've never heard of one tick making a dog need a vet. Unless you are squeemish and don't want to remove it yourself. But if that's the case I hope you are wealthy.
@@jacktheaviator4938 I think it’s more that some ticks has diseases that can be transferred to its host, like an animal or human, with dogs and cats needing some medication to kill the disease, and with humans causing facial paralysis both non permanent and permanent
This little hedgehog is really tired stressed and most likely very fed up and . Especially having to live with those ticks you just ripped off her skin. She needs a big break She's such a champ for pulling through this.
Ace Scafe Actually, when handling wildlife, it’s best to do the procedure as quickly as possible rather than submit a wild animal to multiple sessions, which are far more increasingly stressful than one time. As a zoologist and working in wildlife rehabilitation.
I absolutely must applaud you sir, what you are doing is a wonderful services to all hedgehogs, whom I hold very dear to my heart. I wish I lived where you do and could actively contribute to a wild population as you do, but unfortunately in the US there are only domesticated hedgehogs and so I've had to satisfy myself with rescues, I've had a number of these little guys from abusive or neglectful previous owners who should never have been near one in the first place. Currently I only have one, a little African Pygmy who was owned by a young woman with no sense of what such a creature needs. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to watch someone taking such diligent and intelligent care of these amazing animals. I wholeheartedly agree with the earlier comment that said you deserve a medal, I dare say you deserve many. Thank you so much for caring after them and for giving us a window into your care taking.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, i helped 53 in 2015, ive not counted up how many ive had in 2016 yet but will do at the end of the year, keep helping them : )
I applaud you for rescuing them it doesn’t really annoy me that people keep animals that really shouldn’t be pets as pets. Reptiles are also a good example of that. Annoys me to see reptiles in a tank even a big tank when they can travel far in the wild and the majority of pet snakes can’t even stretch out fully in their tanks
Thank you for doing such good work! In case you didn't already know, hedgehogs have scruffs like cats - so if you need to get to their belly, you can hold them by the scruff and they won't ball up. I had a hedgehog, it worked like a charm on her.
Fantastic work. It's so nice to see someone helping our wildlife rather than trying to hurt it. Thank you for what you do. I'd love to do this but I don't have a garden.
I'm impressed. I found a tick on my Golden Retriever this morning, freaked out and made a mad dash to the vet's officer in hysterics. My hat goes off to you, sir!
Sometimes pets don't realize that we just want to do the best for them. I know the lil girl didn't appreciate it when they were removed but I'm sure she felt better after.
I just stumbled across this video really randomly and i was struck by how much it shows you truly love and care for them! Seems to have turned into quite the selfless hobby for you and i fully appriciate your dedication. Im in Australia and we dont have them here, but id love to meet one! good for you!
Thank you for displaying such kindness to an animal. I know ticks are animals too but they are certainly of the parasitic kind (and the kind you wouldn't want to live with you), and live less consciously (as I believe it) than mammals or bigger animals do -- they don't even feel pain since they have no pain receptors. So they rightfully deserve less treatment than that fuzzy hedgehog.
Great to see. We followed your tips and managed to get three whole ones out of our visitor last night. We weren’t able to check the underneath because of her curling up so looking for tips. We too use spike and feed every day and refresh water bowl. Thank you for all you do for the hogs - they must appreciate it 🦔🦔🦔👍🏼
Bless you for the caring and time you put in for these sweet and passive little animals - you're a saviour to them and to be commended. No doubt it's a labour of love. I learned a lot from your video. I've never seen a hedgehog up close, wild or domesticated. I actually thought their hair was soft, had no idea it was coarse and spiny like that, I could hear the coarseness of it against your gloves and see the pointed tips. Very informative. Thank you.
I love hedgehogs! I have at least 35 that regularly visit my basement. So I decided to build a hedgehog paradise for all and any hedgehog that wants to come visit. I have an automatic sprayer for the flea repellent and have made sure none invade my home. I always like to pick each hedgehog up and give them a checkup (since I'm an exotic animal vet) and I do a bit of blood work. Then I fit them with a soft band and microchip them so I know if they come back lol. I always have a ready supply of tasty mealworms and other treats for them as well! I remove tics as soon as I can and make sure the cute hedgehogs are getting proper nutrition. I love my hedgies and am proud to do my part!
That is so awesome that you feed those wild little hedgehogs and save them from those awful text what a wonderful thing you do God bless you and I think that there should be more people like you
Poor little baby! She's just so tired, stressed and sore. It's just too ridiculously cute when she curls into a ball, although I know she's making your job harder! I'm sure she felt a LOT better when you were done 🤗🤗❤

I always believe hedgehogs were very territorial creatures, but you have a lot visiting your garden. We had one in the summer visited every night for weeks, always did the same trip around the garden, until we had rain one night and we have hardly seen him since, we fed and watered him too.

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 ruclips.net/video/9Hl6SeZ6pEs/видео.html if you go to my RUclips account ruclips.net/user/AwesomeFullHDvideosvideos 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 ruclips.net/video/NPgTjRjDH68/видео.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 ruclips.net/video/mh54e175VOU/видео.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 ruclips.net/p/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 RUclips 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 .
again yt comments isnt working so ive copied and pasted this from an email ...Brandy Terry If you watched both videos he clearly stated they do not live with him. And why are you being so...brusque when he is HELPING the hedgehogs!!!
You're doing a GREAT JOB. I think if you give her breaks, she would be more willing to let you do her belly. I know that means more time. But even five breaks of five minutes each, could allow her to calm down, de-stress--and feel ready to take on whatever this giant is doing to her ;) Anyhoo, I'm glad you re taking should wonderfully good care of this adorably sweet creatures =)
+MissJessyeNorman thanks for the kind words : ) yes if i had more time id try leaving breaks between attempts but very often its last thing at night when i have to deal with hedgehogs ( i use a torch from my house to look down my garden) if i see any i go get them ! but that ends up in me having many a very late night. theyre great animals and some are awake in my garden already ! here we go again
Dc S Oh no, lol. Sounds like a comedy of errors. Well, not ideal conditions for either of you--so, when all is said and done, it's certainly worth a little discomfort on her part, to be rid of these harmful parasites. And it's very kind of you to overextend yourself, in order to provide this care for your pint-sized neighbors. Best of Luck, and Warm Regards to You All =)
+MissJessyeNorman lol yes its a weird situation but its worth helping them, i found 2 males fighting last night ( no injuries) so theyre waking up hungry...good job ive bought big bags of food for them : )
As an aussie, I don't know hedgehogs, I do however know ticks. Those look like cattle ticks, they start out much smaller, are brown, would not be so easily seen among the spines, if left however, will soon fill up to the same size as the ones removed. We put ticks in methylated spirits to kill them, nail polish remover also works well. Do you also get paralysis ticks, I nursed our paralysed cat through that after vet treatment. Can you medicate the critters, like we do our pets? Whether flea powder or tick and flea liquid on the back of the neck, which spreads over the body, to kill off both parasites? The most recently available one lasts 3 months... Or is that kind of thing discouraged? There is a needle for cats, which prevents any flea that bites the animal from breeding. If an owner has multiple animals, one vaccinated cat will save the lot from fleas. The colonies of fleas in the area, can disappear. My father dug up a flea ball in the garden years ago, bigger than a baseball, and put them in the fire, our problem infestation under the house, went away. All the best.
I’m in nw Florida and we had a bad tick problem. I bought 12 guinea chicks and turned them loose when I had them habituated to my property. They of course went feral but return daily for feed and fresh water. They travel several blocks a day and ALL my neighbors love them! No more tick because that’s their favorite food. They are a great addition to any property and ratio is 1 bird per 1/2 acre keeps bugs off.
+GalaxyStar85 yeah ticks are nasty ! thanks she's hibernating now so i hope to see her and the 53+ other hedgehogs i got in my garden in 2015 around mid march when they wake up hungry ! see my hedgehogs playlist if u want more videos
Poor baby 🦔 . Well done for looking after these beautiful little animals. If I see a hedgehog with ticks I get them off too. And feed them. But don’t often see them around these last 2-3 years. Not like i used too Keep up your awesome dedication. ML 👍🏻🦔🇬🇧💙
There was a thick in one of her ears as well. That's pool thing I feel so sorry for her but omg they r so cute. Dude u have a big heart for doing this on ur free time. 😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
Creo que si alguien te ayudará, sería más fácil. Igualmente te felicito por el esfuerzo y la paciencia para sacar esos horribles ticks. Me encanta cuando lo estiras y se hace bolita al principio del video. En mi país estos animalitos son exóticos, así que solo se ven por videos que la gente como tú, suben. Gracias, saludos desde Buenos Aires
What a kind man soul you are. I am the tick getter too in my small town for our stray cat problem. Typically on animals the tick has fed and is full. My daughter got 2 in the last summer and it's terrifying esp since most Lymes testing shows false negative. It's terrifying and they are evil. They are filthy and are EVERYWHERE. We haven't had problems for our whole life until last year.. I'm very vigilant and use anything that will keep them off
God bless all you do for these innocent animals. They must feel SO MUCH better after you de- tic them all. Keep up all your hard work God will bless you for it.. Great video.. Ty..🙏⭐💙✨🥊🥊
Your an amazing person GOD BLESS YOU. I truelly wish i had garden , surrounded by nature i would follow in your foot steps. Your an angel to these creatures, hence why they come to you 😇
+watergoddess9 thanks, well i hate them too and know they carry disease so i try to be careful, do you mean you were bitten by a tick and it made you ill ? christ thats bad hope u ok now
You are the best! Is there anything that you can use for small anaimls for flea and ticks that is safe to spray on wild hedgehogs, to keep the ticks at bay? Like Frontline? that we use in the U.S? You do good work!
another tick removal video by me mentions priduct i use for fleas in written info below video see ruclips.net/video/ON6D-AZtRAU/видео.html dont know of any spray for ticks , thanks ps also check out my hedgehog playlist here ruclips.net/user/AwesomeFullHDvideosplaylists
Pick the skin behind the head or the back of the headhog the same way like when you pick up a cat or puppy, they will not be able to curl up easily, and while doing that take the fleas and ticks out with tweezer. If the headhog try to curl up again from time to time because you stop pick the skin on the back, then put half of the lower body into bathtub while pick the skin at the back of the headhog, the headhog will uncurl the body again.
Are all feral hedgehog this docile? This is truly educational about hedgehogs and tics! Could you tell us more about hedgehogs in the wild. Wonderful video. Thank you!
Watched 1st video so had 2 finish 😀 I know this was years ago but Did ya get the ticks from her belly?? Thank you for all you do! God Bless You & Every Animal You See Or Touch 😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙
Did you get the final few BIG ticks off her belly? You did a great job, poor little soul. I know this was 6 years ago - is she still around and visiting you?
yes i got all the ticks, i still get hedgehogs , only 1 baby/juvenile still about in december turns up on my trail cam at 2-3am most nights , too small to hibernate and survive till spring
@@AwesomeFullHDvideos Will you need to help that juvie in some way then? Thanks so much for your reply, after I stumbled on your 6 year old video today - much appreciated. The magic of RUclips huh?! PS As you're a wildlife expert, I wonder if you can advise? Over the last 4-6 weeks I'm hearing an animal running round the attic of my bungalow. It sounds too heavy-footed to be a rat. I went up yesterday to look for evidence - lots of black poo, some of which looks too big to be a rat's. Any ideas? I Live in Gloucestershire. No idea where it's getting in! Whatever it is, I don't want to poison/kill it! I would be so grateful for any insights you can offer. Thanks in advance.
Great work! That tool seems to be very helpful. I'm curious, is there a bath you could give the animal that would be easier and possibly remove tiny ticks you can't see yet?
I agree with you, ticks are disgusting. I've had them on me a couple of times. The first time none of them got embedded. The second time I got one and it did get embedded. It was gross.
You could tell she was getting really pissed off with you, she started rolling in to a ball, lol. But good work mate, you deserve a medal for your efforts👌👍👏
Wonderful job, you are a fellow after my own heart, one thing I must say regarding hedgehog fleas is they only live on hedgehogs and don't really affect them, they can't live on any other animal but the hedgehog and using flea removal sprays or vials can kill the hedgehog your trying to help. I have seen this happen first hand and it's most distressing when you think your helping them only to cause death to these beautiful creatures. Well done to you and long may you keep helping our spikey friends.
Great job and i think its superb work that you do going out your way helping the animals,does anyone know if rodents get alot of ticks as id imagine they go through all the places that ticks would live in but i cant actually ever remember seeing mice etc covered in them.
Holy cow! She's lucky to have someone who loves her and takes care of her or she'd be dead in no time. All of your heggies are very lucky to be neighbors in your yard. I think they are endangered? Ticks are nasty. My ex and I would check each other after hiking and he'd ALWAYS have them on him. Me, not so much, thank heaven. My dogs were targets too. It's as if the ticks could smell them and they would all come out and move fast to get on my dogs. A whole bunch at one time out of nowhere. I had to pick up my dogs and run because they were everywhere! I really like your tick removal tool too. Never have seen anything like it in the U.S. What do you do for removing a flat non engorged tick? How do you find the flat non engorged ticks between the quills and remove them from the heggies? That's impossible? Just wait and see if there are any engorged ones in a few days? I think ticks have some sort of numbing solution in their saliva, so you don't feel the bites. I'm curious about the flea spray that you have too. I give my dogs a very expensive heartworm medication that kills the fleas too. In the past I gave them medication that would kill the flea eggs, but not the fleas. Well, the fleas were were still jumping around biting my dogs AND BITING ME AND THEY WERE ALL OVER MY CARPETS, MY BEDDING, EVERYWHERE! It was THE MOST RIDICULOUS MEDICATION IN THE WORLD AND COUNTER PRODUCTIVE! I think the fleas usually didn't bother most people, but I have a HORRIBLE REACTION TO FLEA BITES AND BESIDES THAT I WANT THEM DEAD. So, I don't want them in my house, on my dogs and never on me. I think this medication takes care of ticks too. I've never seen any of them since changing to tje expensive medication. No vermin in my house or on my babies or on me ever. I am so happy that you love your little visitors so much that you invest a lot of your time and money on them. They are so precious.Ms. Madam is such a pretty lady and she DOES appreciate everything you are doing for her and her family to keep them safe and healthy. They are so special.
It has been shown that black cumin seed oil is a good remedy for protecting dogs against tick infestation. Perhaps you should look into if it is as effective if administered orally to hedgehogs (by putting some on their food). The organic, cold pressed variety is best. Just my suggestion.
Me and an ex girlfriend had to do this to each other once. We had been out the day before walking through loads of overgrown ferns out in the countryside and I noticed one on her the next morning in bed so we went over each other like a couple of chimps and found a few on each other. Her white dress that she had been wearing the day before was covered in them. They are very small until they feed where they increase by 1000%. From a hardly noticeable size to the size of a small dried pea.
Poor ole hedgehog. I couldn't help but laugh when the hedgehog kept curling into a ball whenever his stomach was touched. So sweet !
+NANCY G ELLISON funny to you stress to me !! : )

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 ruclips.net/video/9Hl6SeZ6pEs/видео.html if you go to my RUclips account ruclips.net/user/AwesomeFullHDvideosvideos 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 ruclips.net/video/NPgTjRjDH68/видео.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 ruclips.net/video/mh54e175VOU/видео.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 ruclips.net/p/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 RUclips 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 .
Awesome!Well done! Over & above the call,my friend & friend to all Hedgehogs! Many blessings! 👍🏼🥰🦔
again yt comments isnt working so ive copied and pasted this from an email ...Brandy Terry
If you watched both videos he clearly stated they do not live with him. And why are you being so...brusque when he is HELPING the hedgehogs!!!
You're doing a GREAT JOB. I think if you give her breaks, she would be more willing to let you do her belly. I know that means more time. But even five breaks of five minutes each, could allow her to calm down, de-stress--and feel ready to take on whatever this giant is doing to her ;) Anyhoo, I'm glad you re taking should wonderfully good care of this adorably sweet creatures =)
+MissJessyeNorman thanks for the kind words : ) yes if i had more time id try leaving breaks between attempts but very often its last thing at night when i have to deal with hedgehogs ( i use a torch from my house to look down my garden) if i see any i go get them ! but that ends up in me having many a very late night. theyre great animals and some are awake in my garden already ! here we go again
Dc S Oh no, lol. Sounds like a comedy of errors. Well, not ideal conditions for either of you--so, when all is said and done, it's certainly worth a little discomfort on her part, to be rid of these harmful parasites. And it's very kind of you to overextend yourself, in order to provide this care for your pint-sized neighbors. Best of Luck, and Warm Regards to You All =)
+MissJessyeNorman lol yes its a weird situation but its worth helping them, i found 2 males fighting last night ( no injuries) so theyre waking up hungry...good job ive bought big bags of food for them : )
Dc S Oh, that's awesome =)
Bravo for getting so many of those disgusting things off of him/her! So patient !
Thank you so much for taking the time to help the hedgehog.😊
As an aussie, I don't know hedgehogs, I do however know ticks. Those look like cattle ticks, they start out much smaller, are brown, would not be so easily seen among the spines, if left however, will soon fill up to the same size as the ones removed. We put ticks in methylated spirits to kill them, nail polish remover also works well. Do you also get paralysis ticks, I nursed our paralysed cat through that after vet treatment. Can you medicate the critters, like we do our pets? Whether flea powder or tick and flea liquid on the back of the neck, which spreads over the body, to kill off both parasites? The most recently available one lasts 3 months... Or is that kind of thing discouraged? There is a needle for cats, which prevents any flea that bites the animal from breeding. If an owner has multiple animals, one vaccinated cat will save the lot from fleas. The colonies of fleas in the area, can disappear. My father dug up a flea ball in the garden years ago, bigger than a baseball, and put them in the fire, our problem infestation under the house, went away. All the best.
I’m in nw Florida and we had a bad tick problem. I bought 12 guinea chicks and turned them loose when I had them habituated to my property. They of course went feral but return daily for feed and fresh water. They travel several blocks a day and ALL my neighbors love them! No more tick because that’s their favorite food. They are a great addition to any property and ratio is 1 bird per 1/2 acre keeps bugs off.
Thank you so much I remember as a child in 6os seeing lots of Hedgehogs we loved them not many cars then 😊🌏🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My skin is crawling... :D
Good job,i hope she has gotten better of the fall and winter months.
+GalaxyStar85 yeah ticks are nasty ! thanks she's hibernating now so i hope to see her and the 53+ other hedgehogs i got in my garden in 2015 around mid march when they wake up hungry ! see my hedgehogs playlist if u want more videos
Thank you.💖 kind sir. Very sweet hedgehog appreciates your act of Kindness too.
such a patient girl, poor thing
good work my friend, you're a splendid steward of the mother earth and all her children~
Poor baby 🦔 . Well done for looking after these beautiful little animals. If I see a hedgehog with ticks I get them off too. And feed them. But don’t often see them around these last 2-3 years. Not like i used too
Keep up your awesome dedication. ML 👍🏻🦔🇬🇧💙
There was a thick in one of her ears as well. That's pool thing I feel so sorry for her but omg they r so cute. Dude u have a big heart for doing this on ur free time. 😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
Creo que si alguien te ayudará, sería más fácil. Igualmente te felicito por el esfuerzo y la paciencia para sacar esos horribles ticks. Me encanta cuando lo estiras y se hace bolita al principio del video. En mi país estos animalitos son exóticos, así que solo se ven por videos que la gente como tú, suben. Gracias, saludos desde Buenos Aires
What a kind man soul you are. I am the tick getter too in my small town for our stray cat problem. Typically on animals the tick has fed and is full. My daughter got 2 in the last summer and it's terrifying esp since most Lymes testing shows false negative. It's terrifying and they are evil. They are filthy and are EVERYWHERE. We haven't had problems for our whole life until last year.. I'm very vigilant and use anything that will keep them off
God bless all you do for these innocent animals. They must feel SO MUCH better after you de- tic them all. Keep up all your hard work
God will bless you for it..
Great video..
Ty..🙏⭐💙✨🥊🥊
Oww poor hedgehog she didn't realise you were trying to help!!
They are SOOOO nasty!! The lil miss feels MUCH BETTER now! KUDOS to you for being so caring n attentive to Gods creatures great n small!! Keep it up!!
Thank you for helping these beautiful animals
You deserve a medal for persevering!
What a kind man thank you for caring
Hedgehogs are so sweet and gentle
Your an amazing person GOD BLESS YOU. I truelly wish i had garden , surrounded by nature i would follow in your foot steps. Your an angel to these creatures, hence why they come to you 😇
You're a good lad , wish there were a few more like you!.
Love that you do this! So sweet! Hope you film more if she happens to get more. Hopefully theyre wont be any need. 😊
Such a lucky hedgehog! You sir are one of my heroes. Also, that’s a cool tool but if you don’t have one you can use a fork instead.
you are amazing!! I am so terrified of ticks, I had a nervous breakdown years ago from them on a dog.
+watergoddess9 thanks, well i hate them too and know they carry disease so i try to be careful, do you mean you were bitten by a tick and it made you ill ? christ thats bad hope u ok now
I would love to be the one to step on all of those ticks at once. Just to hear them pop.
I saw those on her belly and am so glad you saw them!
I don’t see how those twisters would work on the smaller brown ticks, but I’m impressed w how well they work on the gray ones.
Clearly you are a good man an inspiration, thank you.
You are the best! Is there anything that you can use for small anaimls for flea and ticks that is safe to spray on wild hedgehogs, to keep the ticks at bay? Like Frontline? that we use in the U.S? You do good work!
another tick removal video by me mentions priduct i use for fleas in written info below video see ruclips.net/video/ON6D-AZtRAU/видео.html dont know of any spray for ticks , thanks ps also check out my hedgehog playlist here ruclips.net/user/AwesomeFullHDvideosplaylists
🦔❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏Thank you very much 🦔🍀🍀🍀
Pick the skin behind the head or the back of the headhog the same way like when you pick up a cat or puppy, they will not be able to curl up easily, and while doing that take the fleas and ticks out with tweezer. If the headhog try to curl up again from time to time because you stop pick the skin on the back, then put half of the lower body into bathtub while pick the skin at the back of the headhog, the headhog will uncurl the body again.
Are all feral hedgehog this docile? This is truly educational about hedgehogs and tics! Could you tell us more about hedgehogs in the wild. Wonderful video. Thank you!
Hedgehogs look a little bit like Guinea Pigs. They're gorgeous creatures.
+Stephanie O'Neill yes i get over 50 a year in my garden !!
Impresionante. Enhorabuena maestro por limpiarme de bichos que se lo comen por dentro. 😖💜
Thank you for helping her!!!
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication ❤️🙏
Watched 1st video so had 2 finish 😀 I know this was years ago but Did ya get the ticks from her belly?? Thank you for all you do! God Bless You & Every Animal You See Or Touch 😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙😇🙏🏼💙
Yes I did
@@AwesomeFullHDvideos You're as thorough as possible I figured you did 😃
Thank you, this makes me smile 😊
Did you get the final few BIG ticks off her belly? You did a great job, poor little soul. I know this was 6 years ago - is she still around and visiting you?
yes i got all the ticks, i still get hedgehogs , only 1 baby/juvenile still about in december turns up on my trail cam at 2-3am most nights , too small to hibernate and survive till spring
@@AwesomeFullHDvideos Will you need to help that juvie in some way then?
Thanks so much for your reply, after I stumbled on your 6 year old video today - much appreciated. The magic of RUclips huh?!
PS As you're a wildlife expert, I wonder if you can advise? Over the last 4-6 weeks I'm hearing an animal running round the attic of my bungalow. It sounds too heavy-footed to be a rat. I went up yesterday to look for evidence - lots of black poo, some of which looks too big to be a rat's. Any ideas? I Live in Gloucestershire. No idea where it's getting in!
Whatever it is, I don't want to poison/kill it! I would be so grateful for any insights you can offer. Thanks in advance.
Wow, man... that's unreal!
Hi great job love it .do they ever try and bite you??
+Cassie White not so far !
You’re a good egg! I watched both video’s and I comment your dedication!
Great work! That tool seems to be very helpful. I'm curious, is there a bath you could give the animal that would be easier and possibly remove tiny ticks you can't see yet?
tick twister is great, i dont know of any bath to remove ticks
Not the ticks but it's funny when it rolls up in a ball
I agree with you, ticks are disgusting. I've had them on me a couple of times. The first time none of them got embedded. The second time I got one and it did get embedded. It was gross.
Your really sweet to help.
Do you have any video’s of the babies?
How many babies do they have?
You could tell she was getting really pissed off with you, she started rolling in to a ball, lol.
But good work mate, you deserve a medal for your efforts👌👍👏
Wow I love this tour so nice to wildlife
Well done mate. You’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work👍👍
Awesome 🤗 thanks to you this little guy is happy now ♥️🇨🇦
Wonderful job, you are a fellow after my own heart, one thing I must say regarding hedgehog fleas is they only live on hedgehogs and don't really affect them, they can't live on any other animal but the hedgehog and using flea removal sprays or vials can kill the hedgehog your trying to help. I have seen this happen first hand and it's most distressing when you think your helping them only to cause death to these beautiful creatures. Well done to you and long may you keep helping our spikey friends.
great example of the fact that there are still good people in this world
Great job and i think its superb work that you do going out your way helping the animals,does anyone know if rodents get alot of ticks as id imagine they go through all the places that ticks would live in but i cant actually ever remember seeing mice etc covered in them.
Sweet lil hedgehog 😍😍😍😍😍
She had one on her left cheek...even so, she must have felt so much better!
You're absolutely amazing! 🤩🙌🏼🦔💖
thanks Sarah : )
Poor baby bet he feels better .....he's cute
It's so cute!
poor thing, thanks for helping her
They also like dry cat food, has good nutrients
Holy cow! She's lucky to have someone who loves her and takes care of her or she'd be dead in no time. All of your heggies are very lucky to be neighbors in your yard. I think they are endangered? Ticks are nasty. My ex and I would check each other after hiking and he'd ALWAYS have them on him. Me, not so much, thank heaven. My dogs were targets too. It's as if the ticks could smell them and they would all come out and move fast to get on my dogs. A whole bunch at one time out of nowhere. I had to pick up my dogs and run because they were everywhere! I really like your tick removal tool too. Never have seen anything like it in the U.S. What do you do for removing a flat non engorged tick? How do you find the flat non engorged ticks between the quills and remove them from the heggies? That's impossible? Just wait and see if there are any engorged ones in a few days? I think ticks have some sort of numbing solution in their saliva, so you don't feel the bites. I'm curious about the flea spray that you have too. I give my dogs a very expensive heartworm medication that kills the fleas too. In the past I gave them medication that would kill the flea eggs, but not the fleas. Well, the fleas were were still jumping around biting my dogs AND BITING ME AND THEY WERE ALL OVER MY CARPETS, MY BEDDING, EVERYWHERE! It was THE MOST RIDICULOUS MEDICATION IN THE WORLD AND COUNTER PRODUCTIVE! I think the fleas usually didn't bother most people, but I have a HORRIBLE REACTION TO FLEA BITES AND BESIDES THAT I WANT THEM DEAD. So, I don't want them in my house, on my dogs and never on me. I think this medication takes care of ticks too. I've never seen any of them since changing to tje expensive medication. No vermin in my house or on my babies or on me ever. I am so happy that you love your little visitors so much that you invest a lot of your time and money on them. They are so precious.Ms. Madam is such a pretty lady and she DOES appreciate everything you are doing for her and her family to keep them safe and healthy. They are so special.
Excellent wrk, u r a good man.
More videos like these please
I love the positive comments!🧡
It has been shown that black cumin seed oil is a good remedy for protecting dogs against tick infestation. Perhaps you should look into if it is as effective if administered orally to hedgehogs (by putting some on their food). The organic, cold pressed variety is best. Just my suggestion.
Me and an ex girlfriend had to do this to each other once. We had been out the day before walking through loads of overgrown ferns out in the countryside and I noticed one on her the next morning in bed so we went over each other like a couple of chimps and found a few on each other. Her white dress that she had been wearing the day before was covered in them. They are very small until they feed where they increase by 1000%. From a hardly noticeable size to the size of a small dried pea.
