It's something I would very rarely see nowadays.

..Carey has encountered one animal just waking up from hibernation.

Since I was a child, this is probably the first time

but there's no doubt hedgehogs are very cute.

The hedgehog's likely to have been living off its fat reserves

Well, I was walking with the dogs about four or five days ago,

and he was walking along the driveway, disorientated.

And I am now worried, is he actually blind?

Because he's not behaving as a normal hedgehog would.

To be honest with you, I know very little about them.

I call him Harry the Hedgehog, but I honestly don't know

Hello, little hedgehog. Oh, hiya! Oh, yum, yum, yum.

Right, we'll give him some food since he has come out to say hello.

Tasty bites. Oh, no, don't be doing that.

He is hungry. I mean, I've fed him about three times.

He ate masses. He did? OK. He ate absolute masses.

But what I'm concerned about is when they're walking along,

He was, like, hugging the side to know that

Almost like he was trying to touch it. OK.

So I don't know if it's just because he's disorientated.

If they curl into a ball it means they're quite strong

because they're fit enough to actually do that.

That obviously involves quite a lot of energy.

Because he's all balled up, I can't assess his eyes

So they're quite prone to getting wee traumas to their eyes.

So I need to get him to be in a normal standing position.

and talk to him gently to try and coax him out of his little ball.

Tasty, tasty bites. He did come out - for food, I think.

He'll come out for food. Can you smell some tasty bites?

He says, "Oh, look, tasty bites." It's OK, I'm not going to touch you.

We'll maybe leave a bit more out for you.

So this is just a little bit of dye so I can have a wee look

into his eyes and make sure there's no ulcers.

The dye that I put into his eye, if there's an ulcer,

I want to have a wee look in your peeper.

Tiny, tiny wee eyes and there's no dye staining in them,

so it doesn't look like there's a wee ulcer.

I think your hedgehog might be a boy. It's a boy.

I think he just mistook my finger for food.

He says, "This is wonderful, this is the best day of my life."

Usually when we would have hedgehogs coming in,

maybe they've been hit by a car, there's been a severe trauma.

It's very rare that you would get a wee healthy

sort of looking hedgehog coming into you.

I'd be happy with him. OK. I mean, he's very bright.

He's very capable of curling himself up into a ball

Hazel's a feeder. She likes to feed all the animals that come in.

Yes! This is clearly her favourite animal ever. He's hoovering this.

Reassured that he's in robust shape, Carey takes Harry to his garden.

Very pleased. I was so worried that he was blind,

So fingers crossed he can just be in here.

We set the little house up for him. So we'll just put him in.

I'll just literally... You can't be too ceremonial,

So he is Harry the Hedgehog and fingers crossed all goes well

and he finds Mrs Harry soon, which would be even better.

If we could have little Harrys later in the year,

# But the leaves in the woodland, they'll whisper their rhymes
