 Safe haven needed for ...

Lady Scabbers.

Lady Scabbers of Pricklington Palace https://www.facebook.com/pricklingtonpalace was admitted via End Cottage vets in a pretty terrible state. 

She had a full blown case of mange/ringworm , a huge, historic largely healed wound on her back and round worm. Her skin is leathery and thick and she is unable to curl up to protect herself. Her back legs are a little bent but she moves well and at speed when she needs to.

 This is her 'curled'

She is an aged hog, but a fighter and she has responded really well to treatment, is eating well and improving each day. I have every reason to believe that this old lady will and should experience some kind of freedom in the near future, but she is vulnerable.

I am looking for a nice, leafy, quiet garden which is completely secure where she can live out her dotage safely and with a little support.

The garden should be ...

• Grassy and with plenty of shrubs and borders for her to explore.
• Absolutely secure, so  no way for her to escape (she will if she can).
• Free from hazards (drains, nets etc)
• No deep ponds
• Preferably no dogs (but that is negotiable).
• Quiet (so children playing noisily nearby is not a good mix).
• Close enough for her to return to me if required .

She will need food placing out in a feeding station every night and a shallow bowl of fresh water close by at all times. A hedgehog house (which I will provide).  She currently  eats half of  tin of meaty cat food every night but hopefully she will hunt for some food (I am happy to provide a starter pack).

You may not see much of her but it would be nice if you can monitor her when possible to see that she is reasonably well and she is in her house on colder days where she can be warm and dry..

Any health care needs I will provide.

If you think you can provide what I am looking for please either contact me via the Pricklington palace Facebook page or email me at gilldix@talktalk.net or call the number shown.

I will visit the garden if possible, but if you can provide photos with your enquiry that would help.

Please only respond if you are serious and can tick all the requirements. 

Thankyou so much.
