So, it has been a day...

rodo... it started off kind of terrible for real life reasons related to bureaucracy, but no biggy. Still had the time to finally pick apples, which has been overdue already. I didn't only find apples, though:
This little critter weighs 210g. To make it through winter, it'd need to weigh 600g. All the places for hedgehogs in need are already taken. We have no idea what we're doing, so it's currently taking up space in our cat's carrier, which is perched on top of a hot water bottle precariously, while the tiniest little spiky hog is eating wet cat food the cat only wishes she was allowed (but she always horks that stuff back up). I've already removed three ticks, but there's nothing I can do about the fleas right now.
My mother is phoning around for help, but so far, not much luck.
ETA: Hedgehog is a little girl, incredibly small but otherwise lively. She got worm and flea treatment. Her chances aren't great, from what I gather, but it apparently all depends on the next few days. Still no professionals around who can help her long-term, since this is apparently the worst year in a while.
