Please help our lil buddies

Lisa from Claudelands

Saw a post on neighbourly to please leave water out for birds in this extreme heat.....I thought oh god yes I always fed them and made sure the bread was wet for them.... ...so I put a little cat bowl of water out.... then heard they like cat biscuits... ...so bought cat biscuits and put water on them so they are soft.... well the birds haven't taken advantage but little Herbie the hedgehog is now our nightly visitor..... and eats the cat biscuits... my dad sees him everynight....I just went for a look and there he is...... in our leaves went up for his little feast... bless him... tried to get a photo but it was dark.... hope my neighbourly friends can do the same..... they're thirsty...hot. . . The ground is solid so they can't get worms they have no food.... please show some compassion and put them water out and if u can some food..... help out our little buddies..... imagine being them.... with no food or water available... a box of cat biscuits doesn't cost much and they don't eat much.... please please please help em
