Mortality rates in pre-weaned and post-weaned juvenile European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) admitted to rescue centres in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Rescue centres care for orphaned animals including European hedgehogs. Considering the breeding strategy of European hedgehogs in the Czech Republic and the timing of their admission to rescue centres, these are young born during the normal breeding season, but also young from late litters. Between 2011 and 2015, a total of 1,365 young European hedgehogs were admitted to 18 rescue centres in the Czech Republic, with a significantly (p < 0.01) lower number of post-weaned hedgehogs from normally-timed litters. The highest mortality rate was determined in pre-weaned hedgehogs from both late litters and normally-timed litters (12.94% and 19.19% of the number of admitted young in the category, respectively). In view of the large numbers of these young in rescue centres and the high mortality rate, further research should be focused on the development of a procedure leading to successful rearing, especially of pre-weaned young.
