Hedgehog hibernation

I saw a dead Hedgehog on the road yesterday. Should it not have been in hibernation??

May have it been ill, or has its hibernation been effected by the mild weather.

Right now it is freezing, but last week it was up to 12 degrees. We have not had many frosts this winter, in fact its a laugh calling it winter so far.

So are the Hedgehogs being effected by the mild weather or was could this just have been a one off?

On this site you can find some jelpful tips on what to do when you find a hedgehog in this time of the year.
Also, it explains in detail why you found it in this time of the year. Yes, the weather did affect its hibernation, poor little thing!
