A hedgehog expert has said the health conditions of the animals she rescued this year have been the worst she has seen.

Dru Burdon of the Jersey Hedgehog Preservation Group (JHPG) said the condition of the hedgehogs they had admitted "is worse than it used to be" with some dead on arrival or dying soon after.

She attributed this to a lack of available food because of a hot, dry spring and summer and after pest controllers had asked islanders not to leave food out for wildlife due to a rise in the number of rats.
