Default Hedgehog Diseases?
In reply to Martin Brown ) who wrote this
in , I, Marvo, say :

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on the malaises that afflict
young hedgehogs?

A young one has apparently expired in the middle of an open area of
concrete near a path I walk regularly. Although it looks superficially
undamaged there are some strange organic growths on it about 5mm
diameter translucent grey and longer than the spines poking out here
and there. Leeches or some other nasty parasites maybe?

Sounds like it was stepped on by someone with those golf shoes with
removable spikes

:-)
