    Yv it's the owner who's the problem, he's always doing it, he was renting it out before he put it up for sale, the tenants never set the alarm off, but when the owner sets it its off again 😤

    Its called a nuisance. If the alarm doesn't switch itself off after 20 minutes, it should be turned off permanently.  Start getting nasty with the agent. Follow it up with a call to the council re noise abatement.  I had an alarm go off at work that we couldn't shut up, and I dumped a large bag of talc on it. It blocked it, it shut up, and when the alarm engineer finally arrived they had to replace the whole thing. At least my ears weren't screaming in pain.

    For some reason I have never got Sutton’s apricot to take. Will be interested to hear how you do with it

    Thanks LP & FB, the alarm is on the outside of the building went off after twenty minutes but it's still going on the inside, I will give them a ring now before my husband goes bald 😬

    I usually feed my little Spikey friends with chicken cat food in jelly. Waitrose didn't have any so I've bought chicken dog food in gravy. Will it be ok to use?

    @Hostafan1 - dog food is ok - they just can't have fish flavour, milk, bread or pork. 
    Lucky hog having Waitrose anything!

    I've not seen a hedgehog yet this season. Something is clearing up the cat food, whether its a cat or fox I have no idea.
