In Otley, the hedgehog was seen "wobbling in the middle of the road."
After being saved by a six-year-old child, a rare albino hedgehog that was
discovered at "death's door" is expected to make a full recovery.
The hedgehog, known as Jack Frost, was found by Ruben Wiggins in Otley and
transported to a local rescue facility when it was emaciated, dehydrated,
and plagued with parasites.
Jack will soon be in good enough health following treatment at Prickly Pigs
Hedgehog Rescue to be returned to the wild.
Around 5 o'clock, according to Diane Cook, the owner of Prickly Pigs, Ruben
noticed the hedgehog "wobbling in the middle of the road."
He yelled for his mother to hurry because he understood the hedgehog needed
assistance and wasn't supposed to be outside during the day, she
added.
They quickly grabbed a box and dragged it out from under a parked car. They
provided water and some food that they had borrowed from a neighbor who
feeds hedgehogs in the area.
When we brought Jack Frost inside, we carefully checked him and discovered
that he was covered in ticks, fleas, and fly eggs, which required a lot of
time to remove.
He was famished, extremely dehydrated, and on the verge of death.

The hedgehog was hand-fed by the center until it was robust enough to feed
itself, and parasites were removed.
"Jack is now well on the road to a complete recovery and will be released
back into the wild," Mrs. Cook continued.
Hedgehogs with albinism have white or creamy-colored spines, hair, and
eyes, and they may thrive in the wild.
