The GSPCA is seeing record numbers of hedgehogs coming through its doors.
It is asking people to be vigilant and check before gardening to make sure they do not injure any of the spiky species.
Last year the Guernsey animal charity helped a record breaking 618 hedgehogs and says 2020 is set to be even busier.
The top reasons for hedgehogs arriving at this time of year include those with mange, dehydration and many injured from garden instruments such as strimmers and hedge cutters.
Staff are asking people to put out fresh water and tinned food for the animals and say people are also able to sponsor a hedgehog to provide some financial support for the charity.
