Hedgehog was as drunk as a skunk

A hedgehog had to be rescued in Braunton after getting drunk by eating fermenting apples. The animal — now named Tipsy — was discovered in an orchard on his back and squealing loudly last Wednesday.

Tipsy was taken home by Ann and given painkillers, antibiotics and some non- alcoholic apple juice. Ann said: "The next morning I came in and turned the light on and she squealed really loudly. She obviously still had a big headache."

Tipsy, aged about six months, is due to be hibernating for the winter now but is currently underweight and without sufficient body fat to keep her warm. Ann will feed Tipsy to a healthy size of 600g and release her in the spring. LINK
