Overweight hedgehog goers on Atkins Diet
A CHUBBY hedgehog has lost almost a quarter of its body weight after going on the Atkins Diet.
Staff at a wildlife aid centre in Leatherhead, Surrey, discovered overwight George in a garden, when he weighed 4.8 lbs, well over the adult average weight of about 1.4 lbs.
Becky Banning, General Manager at the Wildlife Aid Centre, said: "Now he's on a strict food regime, so he's fed cat food once a day in the evening, and no bread." For the full story from the BBC, click here
