An animal rescue worker in Rosyth, Scotland, battled the elements to rescue dozens of hedgehogs after severe flooding threatened to drown them in their shelter.
Nadia Al-Dujaili, who operates the Forth Hedgehog Hospital, realized that the 38 hedgehogs housed in a custom-built area in her garden were in danger as the water level rapidly rose, flooding the creatures’ sanctuary.
“I was waist deep in water getting them all out and thankfully I managed to get them out and into boxes and cat carriers,” Al-Dujaili explained. “They are all safe and that’s the main thing … it could have been much worse.”
The hospital cares for sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs. Once rehabilitated and deemed self-sufficient, the staff releases them back into the wild. The rescued animals are currently living in Al-Dujaili’s house until their own home is dry enough for them to return.

Nadia is a angel and we the public thank her for saving these poor babies.
Best wishes for Nadia and all her babies.
Really, keep the comments peaceful! Dont u realize how infuriating your articles are? We’re not feeling all warm & fuzzy, we’re irate & appalled. If u want a happy response, then change the content. I would like to toss that blundering idiot in front of a 16 wheeler & let him go back & forth over him, tilmhe looks like a pancake. Karma. And that mother shouldn’t have that loser around her child. Traumatic for her too.
May karma shine brightly on you Nadia for all of your hard work in saving these poor little hedgehogs – you are a positive force in a world full of so much destruction. Your actions went above and beyond and the world owes you a huge Thank You for everything you did. The animals owe you their lives. Take Care of yourself and be safe.
Good work Nadia !

Wonderful lady!
What a lovely woman. After being saturated with the endless animal cruelty inflicted by vile humans, it is so important for us to read about people that have more concerns in this world other than making a profit off of the suffering of another sentient being. Thank you for your compassion Forth Hedgehog Hospital!
