I live in the midlands, and about a meter away from the patio doors I have a covered corner where I put a dish of mealy worm and suet for the birds, plus a dish of water, the birds make good use of this in the day, but at night for the past five or six years I have one or two hedgehogs who come to finish off anything the birds leave, for the last few years they have brought two or three babies, in the last couple of weeks the babies have been coming on their own, they know just where to go, and come and go several times a night, its a lovely sight.
Brilliant Lyn - we have the same thing happening - we find they like chopped peanuts and pieces of banana chip too (not too much banana, bad for their teeth)
Isn't it lovely watching them?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

That is just lovely Lynr. If you can get a pic I'm sure everyone would love to see it
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Hi -I have a hedgehog in my garden too and I'm feeding him on small amounts
of dog food chopped up small. I love to see his little nose go up to sniff out
where I've put the dish. He is so quiet - I almost never see him until he reaches
the dish - he's like a little shadow slipping over the lawn. I think it's a "he" as
there's no sign of babies, but I'm not sure. I think he's the only one I have as I
spend quite a long time watching him come and go from the garden.
