  • lucky you! I think I heard that milk can actually upset their stomachs, but they like dog food apparently

    Not milk - just water. They like cat food but I'd be wary of leaving that out in case the local tabbies just turned up!. You can get special food  from garden centres. Dove recommended it and I noticed my local one had it. She leaves a few raisins and banana chips out too. image

    Think she puts out peanuts as well. Ask her later on hello forkers thread - she's sure to see it. Think the specialist food is little biscuits. image

     Verdun, the dried dog food is probably okay at this time of year but remember how much it swells, so it's not good for feeding chicks. The magpies 'steel' anything my dogs leave and stash it in all kinds of places. If I'm feeding a hedgehog though I only put out 'wet' food. I've rescued a few babies out during the day already this autumn. Meant to say make sure there's plenty of water for them. I have to top my water bowl a few times a day since my dogs prefer to drink al fresco. image
