Hi the Gallaghers
Totally agree you need more than one feeding dish if you have multiple hedgehogs. At the end of the year there are likely to be mostly youngsters left and they are quite happy to share. Adults, especially males are usually not. Some adult females will sometimes tolerate sharing with certain other adult females but not always.
You are probably best having several different bowls/dishes spread around – maybe a yard or two apart, especially if you have several stroppy males visiting – even with only 2, I would offer several different (smaller) bowls/dishes. If the bowls are in boxes a less dominant hog may just become trapped in the box by a more dominant one. If they are outside at least they have the chance to escape. But you may find that the hogs gradually vary the times of visits to avoid too much aggression. You could try moving your camera further away so that it covers more than one bowl.
You are lucky that you already have enough hogs back that it has become a problem!
