Aw, thanks Flowersforbees!!! That's lovely!!! Our hedgies like a mixture of dried mealworms, chopped peanuts, sunflower hearts, banana chips and bought hedgehog biscuits. We make sure there's always a shallow bowl of rainwater out for them and they always have a good drink too.
Nut, I find it really hard to believe that out in the sticks where you are, wth all the other wildlife around, there are no hedgehogs - how sad I know you've got thrushes and grass snakes - I'd have thought they'd have similar needs. Maybe your hedgehogs are just very shy ....

Before we went to bed last night we watched Hefty Hedgehog on the terrace eating his supper and having a drink of water - he really is a huge hedgehog - no worries about him being big enough to get through hibernation

Lovely Lyn! I had a visit (on my daughter's birthday in July) from one, and haven't seen him/her since. I'm hoping that in time I'll get him/her back as I'm creating a wild corner behind the shed. The only problem is that it must have to cross a road to get in here...
The GC stocks the specialist hedgehog food that Dove has mentioned. Tempted to get some.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

This is for you Dovefromabove,
I've just watched my resident hedgehog eating his nightly supper of tinned dog food -
he's so fat now I don't think he goes very far! Then in the shadows I saw another
hedgehog watching him clean the dish! I felt so sorry for it I put some more dog
food out for that one and watched as it too cleaned the dish! Long live hedgehogs!!
I haven't seen one for years
In the sticks near Peterborough
Hoping my wildlife habitat will attract hedgehogs !

It's an oasis in an agricultural desert Dove. There were a few here when we arrived but nothing like I'd been used to.
The surrounding farmland is as far from wildlife friendly as it's possible to be.
