300g Karen, They can try and hibernate at 450g but most aren't even successful, For best success need to be 500g or higher between 600g-800g is best for hibernation.
I am glad I took it though, It looked perfect and was eating but it had a bacterial infection when checked out and if I didn't take it then she said it would of died within a week.
Apparently the young babies get these bacterial infections easy during autumn that is why autumn babies don't stand a chance if underweight plus have something building up!
Amanda,
If the rescue say anything but bring it in they aren't a very good rescue so keep that in mind when you get a reply.
Hedgehogs out in the day should always be taken and checked over, Any good rescue will suggest that.
Let us know what happens fingers crossed for the little guy
