Benny - Our Pprickly Ball of Cuteness - Comes to Yaxley House!

Benny The Hedgehog up close

Sunday 2nd February was International Hedgehog Day and Yaxley House celebrated with the kind support of The Hog House - Hedgehog Help Rescue Team Tracey and Rachel. These dedicated ladies brought in Benny the Hedgehog who has been rescued and treated to full health and is now ready to be gradually introduced back in to the wild. We firstly had some hog related games such as name that Hedgehog and a Q&A Quiz. Then the most beautiful prickly fairy cakes were donated by Nibby Nonsense facebook.com/nibblys. Obviously these went down a storm with a cup of tea. Finally Benny, our VIP guest made his appearance and was so well behaved and adored by all. Yaxley House Management and all the Residents would like to thank The Hog House and Nibbly Nonsense for supporting us and putting this all together. What would you name your Rescue Hedgehog?
