Rescued hedgehog is actually a hat bobble!

Is this a hedgehog or a hat? Yes we're FUReal!

A wildlife rescue charity took in what they thought was a baby hedgehog last week - that turned out to be a hat bobble!

The fluffy pom-pom was taken in to Lower Moss Nature Reserve and Wildlife Hospital in Cheshire by someone who thought they'd found a hoglet - a baby hedgehog.

On arrival it was discovered that the hoglet was in fact a "faux furry friend", a volunteer for the animal charity said.

"Our hearts melted", the volunteer at the rescue, based in Knutsford, Cheshire, added.

The charity saw the funny side and posted a photo on their social media of the fluffy ball, showing it nestled in a box beside a bowl of food.

"This adorable 'hoglet' still got all the love, complete with some cosy TLC", the charity said.

"Sometimes, even the most heart-warming stories start with a hilarious twist!"

The rescue charity in Knutsford looks after around 2,000 injured animals each year - but not usually pom-poms.
