Very interested madpenguin, we have at least 3 judging from the different sizes of 'presents' I've been getting. We don't have a hog house, they live in an old willow stump covered in Ivy at the moment.
I nipped out the other night when the fog was bad and went to see the pond. It was spooky and I heard rustling... I thought it was a zombie and I was going to be done for. I turned round and there was a full size hedgehog.
I don't think I have ever seen one before in my life, but I have now... and in my own garden.
Hi I live in spital on the Wirral and we used to have a hedgehogs in our garden so I built a box for them to sleep over winter . Sadly I've not seen a hedgehog in the area for about two years now , so many get killed on the roads so I asked the neighbours to dig holes under their fences in the hope that this would keep them off the roads it may of saved some .
Hi, I have been putting out food and water hoping the hedgehogs would return, and 2 of them are back. They had 3 hoglets last year. I live in Chippenham, Wiltshire.
I have to put the food inside boxes, because the neighbours cats will get to it first.
We are currently treating one who has a large incision across the back of his neck, most likely due to a strimmer. Can I please ask everyone to keep a careful check if you are using machinery to clear long grass or undergrowth.
The little guy is recovering, I will spare you photos.

Was looking at this one on Amazon:

Is that what you have in the picture or similar?
