    A hedgehog or two here......love the little guys

    have been known to stop traffic to collect a hedgehog in the middle of the road.  Never really knew which way it was going though.

    tips to encourage more Mark? 

    See original post

     Sorry Verd, only just seen your post - the hot weather in the south east must be sending me delirious image Top tips would be 5" holes in fences or gates to allow roaming, feeding station with meat flavoured cat biscuits and fresh water, a suitable home/shelter even if that is leaving part of the garden wild. After that it's just a waiting game!

    Great pics Joy & video Marc, you both must be doing something right image Marc, Hedgley looks very healthy indeed.. have you been getting your daughter involved too? 

  • No he arrives at around 10pm, she asleep by 7

    But I talk about him to her and will get her involved when can as she gets older

    Now I wonder how I can get a bat video. They circle most nights

    Hubby nearly trod on a hedgehog on the back door mat the other morning, just as it was getting light.

     I have just had a delivery on a pallet, and while he was there I got the man to move another pallet  which has some gravel on. Sticking out at one side was another prickly fellow. I moved him to the purpose built hedgehog house under the bug house.

  • Big hedgehog had visited the hog cafe, and was making his or her way across the lawn when my daughter spotted it.

    sad sad news on the little hog that was having difficulties walking.  The vets said that she died. 

  • Ours haven't been round for a week, so stopped putting food out for them. There is always bird food around  the floor anyway.

    imageThere are 3 feeding cafes around the garden, so when I found a Hedgehog eating bread off the bird tray, I wondered why, I checked and  all the cafes were full.

    So now I clear the bird tray of bread and at night put out some food and water for the Hedgehog.
