Little hedgehog in the garden, 352 grams

This little hedgehog was since last monday in the garden. It was so strange, Loesje, the female hedgehog was here at 21.30 hrs and the little one at 22.15 hrs. The strange thing is that I didn't see Loesje after that visit at 21.30 hrs. So I have the feeling that she is the mother of this little one. When I saw it last night, I had to find out about his weight, and it was way too light for wintertime, 352 grams. The little one looks bigger than he is, and this seems a problem with many small hedgehogs this year, because this one probably would have to weigh now about 450 grams, regarding how he looks now. After a call to the shelter, I had the advice to take it inside, and feed it well! Because it won't have a chance to get fat enough before wintertime (at least 600 grams!).
Here you see the little one eating, and me catching it. Afterwards it was in the barn, but it was so cold there, that I decided to bring it inside the house.
