Squirrel and hedgehog chicks leave the nest after a couple of days if the mother no longer comes back to feed them.
In addition to cats, the Seinäjoki Animal Protection Society also took care of a lot of wild animals last year.
Of the nearly 300 wild animals, the majority were hedgehogs. A total of 236 hedgehogs were cared for by the animal protection association.
A particularly large number of orphaned baby squirrels also came into care, which were delivered to the association’s volunteer caregivers.

In addition to hedgehogs and squirrels, there were also reports of birds, especially barn swallows.
