Hedgehogs born late due to warm weather have been spotted "drunkenly" walking around as they are unable to hibernate.
Charities have been inundated with the babies from second litters which have not put on enough winter weight.
"People are ringing up saying they've found a hedgehog
that looks drunk," said Hugh Warwick of the Hedgehog Preservation
Society.
"Hedgehogs are suffering from the early stages of hypothermia, they're beginning to shake and to wobble."
