Abstract
ANALYSES were carried out during the summer from active hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus), which were fed on a ‘high protein diet’, after fasting for one day. Hibernating animals in winter were kept in a constant-temperature cold room (+ 4.0 ± 0.5° C) at least one week before analyses were made.
