Message from Twiggy for Hedgehog Awareness Week.
She tells followers of the charity that hedgehogs can swim but they often have difficulty in getting out of water. She say:"If you have got a pond it is really, really important that you have a ramp into the pond.
"Although they can swim they have trouble getting out if the side of the pond is slippery. So you need to put a little ramp in so they can climb up the ramp. Otherwise they can't get out which would be disastrous.The British Hedgehog Preservation Society will be issuing hedgehog friendly tips all this week from its celebrity supporters.
Its message is for gardeners to be aware of the tiny spiky animals which are at risk in the UK at a time when they are waking up from hibernation.
