Blind rescue hedgehog dances under sprinkler in hot weather
- 6 years ago
This rescue hedgehog loves using garden sprinklers to cool off in the hot weather.
Sacha the hedgehog lives in Jane Milton's garden in Harrow, London, and is well looked after by her owner.
"She stays in my garden where there are two purpose-built houses and she can live in either - she mainly sleeps outdoor under plants in the summer and hibernates from around October 1 to April 1," says Jane.
Sacha is blind after being attacked by an unknown animal, meaning the summer months can be quite stressful for her.
Jane adds: "She has been unsettled by the heat so I have been making sure she is int he shade as much as I can – as she is blind she is often out during the day which of course she should not be.
"She leans slightly to one side and so often spins around - but if I feel it is getting too much I divert her with food or pick her up and move her."
With temperatures soaring over 30 degrees Celsius in the South-East on the day the video was filmed (August 5), Sacha certainly had the right idea.
