The life of Ramona the hedgehog
Where she lives
The hedgehog Ramona has her space in front of the installation of the fox Bicho.
Blindness
Although she has demonstrated that blind hedgehogs can survive in the wild (their hearing and smell are excellent), Ramona’s advanced age does not allow us to return her to the wild.
Spiked ball
Hedgehogs do not like to be touched. Luckily our veterinarian Laia has her tricks to unwind this little ball of barbs.
Anecdote
Ramona the hedgehog loves to climb on high places.
Unfortunately she is no longer as agile as when she was young.
A gourmet
Ramona prefers cat food to eating meat.
She also likes worms and has eaten all the snails in her facility.
Other hedgehogs
Every year our refuge helps the Wildlife Center Torreferrussa with the release of the hedgehogs rescued in this entity.
Sponsors’ contributions are also used for this task.
What will your contribution be used for?
Ramona is the representative of all the hedgehogs that come to the Zoo of the Pyrenees. It doesn’t matter if they can go back to nature or if they have to stay with us for life.
Who will you help?
Ramona the hedgehog
In the wild she would not survive even a week.
Rescued hedgehogs
You will help in their previous adaptation and release into the wild.
Injured hedgehogs
Hedgehogs that have suffered an accident and need veterinary care before returning to the wild.
Hedgehogs help people.
They hunt mice, eat snails and also insect larvae.
Help them.
Thank you for your support!
