    It looks like the hedgehog poo we get, too.

    Got the camera set up, but no sign of any hedgehogs, or indeed anything, apart from one field mouse. No fresh poo either. One regular visit from a badger, and occasionally a young fox, but they don’t go anywhere near the back door where the original poo was. Shame, would love to have hedgehogs around. 
  • Oh to have a hedgehog visit us. How do we encourage one?

    This site is very helpful for establishing a hedgehog friendly  garden

    one of the most important things to start with is ensuring there are ways for hedgehogs to access your garden.

    Glad to help 😊
    We have hedgehogs visiting our garden every evening (except midwinter) ever since we moved here over 10 years ago. 

    Sometimes they wake us up with their huffing and puffing and crunching of biscuits 😂 

    We put out a small dish of GoCat type chicken biscuits in a feeding station that’s inaccessible to cats … and very important … a dish of fresh water every evening … and we make sure that part of our garden us more like a hedge bank than a tidy garden … and we don’t use pesticides or fungicides.
