Grabbing Elsie and her 18-moth-old daughter Gracie from the nearby cot, a horrified Chelsey fled the scene of the attack to the safety of downstairs. The mum said: “It was quarter past four in the morning and my daughter Elsie was in bed with me and she woke up screaming and holding her leg. She is massive.”With the prickly intruder still at large Chelsey phoned NHS 111 for advice as she cleaned the bite wound. “We were happy to send the hedgehog back to Chelsey’s family along with a hand-knitted hedgehog and some Spikes hedgehog food and hedgehog bookmarks to give to Elsie. “We have also invited Elsie to come and see the hedgehog hospital when social distancing allows it.”
