Watch: Lovin Malta’s Hedgehog Marshmallow Released Back Into The Wild
Lovin Malta’s beloved hedgehog, Marshmallow, was released back into the wild on Wednesday, 26th June, weighing a healthy 372 grams. The release took place just before sunset between Bidnija and Mġarr, marking a successful return to nature for the young hedgehog.
Marshmallow, an Algerian hedgehog native to Malta, was named by Lovin Malta after an unexpected yet delightful opportunity from the NGO Nature Trust Malta (NTM).
The hedgehog was found lost without its mother in Birżebbuġa, weighing just 57 grams and with only one eye open. Thanks to the dedicated care from NTM, Marshmallow responded very well to feedings and showed significant improvement.
The release of Marshmallow shows the successful rehabilitation efforts of NTM. As the sun set over the Maltese countryside, Marshmallow began a new chapter, thriving in its natural habitat.
