HEDGEHOG SHELTER

This older man isn't the only one making an effort to improve the lives of helpless animals. Another man is working to aid baby hedgehogs and has launched a shelter for them, providing a home for 14 baby hedgehogs.

The man shared that he uses a mixture of kitten milk and puppy mouse to feed the baby hedgehog.

A video showing him feeding a week-old hedgehog called Dexter went viral on Reddit, being viewed more than 1,500 times. The man explains how the feeding works and how many hedgehogs he is caring for.

FULL-TIME JOB

The kind man explains that the baby hedgehogs are on a rigorous feeding schedule that amounts to a full-time job. They get their first meal at 6:00 am, and the feeding continues right through the day and night up until 1:00 am.

There isn't only one hedgehog to keep the man out of his sleep, but there is a total of fourteen little animals that need his love and attention, which results in a strenuous schedule to keep the rescue shelter going.

"You are a saint. Thank you for rescuing these cute little critters."
