I dont know what happened last night, but this morning I found the hog feeding box upside down, still with its lid on, standing on its brick ( that stops the wind taking the lid off), with a triangle of plastic broken above the door, and most of the food gone! Surely some stupid cat wouldn't try to get into a hole only big enough for its head! Even the largest hogs have to duck to get in! Unluckily didn't have the night camera on.😯😯😠😠🤔🤔🤔🙄
@purplerallim i had a similar thing gone on with my feeding station. During the night we have 3 hogs and i think that the 3 was in there at the same time, they probably couldn't get out.
A few nights before i saw 2 in there and the one had to wait for the other to finish eating.
The food is out at the moment in case any hog wakes up, as the adults have been asleep for 6 weeks, one baby is in rescue, and the other hasn't been for over a week . That's why I thought cat @Logan4. There is enough room for two hogs to eat side by side , with a third waiting in line🙂, but the hogs aren't heavy enough to turn the box over.
No photo - a mature hedgehog taken to our rescue centre by us a few weeks ago has just been released into our garden. He was found at the side of a busy road nearby, we it, took it to the centre for care and is now is fit and was able to be released here. Let's hope it makes a home here.
Usually the cats here do too @Logan4 , but it had to be something big enough to get stuck by a 4 inch square hole, and heavy enough to turn over a 18×12×12 inch box with a brick on top, and break a 4 inch triangle of plastic from above the door.🤔
Thanks @ purplerallim, Bruce didn't return tonight for food, so I hope he has found it elsewhere or bedded down for the winter. The temperature really is too warm here for hibernation yet though.
It's been too cold here for a few weeks now for the adults to come out for food, and these next few days are supposed to be even colder. Hopefully he is tucked up and snug somewhere. 🙂
