They say that 1 in 10,000 hedgehogs are born albino... and they struggle to survive in the wild. I have never seen one! But this is a lovely article and video on this rescued one.
Also pleased to hear this man is feeding it on cat food - which suits them best... not sure I agree with the vet quoted in the article saying to use milk - I have always believed milk causes them digestive upsets - probably safer to stick with canned cat foods... or a few biscuits, or just worms and snails.
We used to see a lot of sick hedgehogs up north. Often it was slug bait poisoning.. which is one reason I don;t use it anymore. They are also prone to ringworm. Drought also affects them and we always put water down for them overnight.
Have you heard of St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in England?

They do a great job - have a look at their site :) Nice of them to name it after the Beatrix Potter character...
