The inanimate object was brought to the Lower Moss Nature Reserve and Wildlife Hospital by a conscientious member of the public last week.
A British woman who thought she had rescued a “baby hedgehog” later discovered she was in fact caring for a hat bobble.
But upon arrival at the facility in Knutsford, Cheshire, volunteers realised the hoglet was a “faux furry friend”. Hedgehogs are stout furry mammals no more than a kilogram in weight, with spikey quills on their back.: “From a distance you take it at face value. She didn’t handle it at all, she scooped it in a box with some cat food and left it alone in a warm, dark place. She did everything so well. She barely peeked at it because she didn’t want to stress it out.”
The rescue centre later posted a photograph of the bobble on social media, showing it nestled in a box beside a bowl of food.
