There are some initial steps we need to take to ensure the health and safety of the hedgehog before it is handed over to wildlife conservation agencies.

Secondly, avoid using any products such as cosmetics, perfumes, etc., that may contain chemicals to avoid harm to the hedgehog.
If possible, provide suitable habitat for hedgehogs, such as building a small shelter out of hay or cardboard boxes, maintaining a quiet, shady environment, and ensuring adequate air circulation. Try to keep the hedgehog's habitat at a suitable temperature to simulate its natural ecological environment.
Before sending it to a wildlife conservation agency, it is best to take a picture of the hedgehog's ** or **, recording information such as its characteristics and where it was found, so that professionals can better understand and care for the small animal.
