Hi again, just to update the large hedgehog has now stopped coming as far as I know but I have seen the little one for the last two evenings. It usually comes for food around 6.30 to 7pm most evenings. It is half the size of the large one. I know for a fact no cats come into my garden as I have wire fencing around the top of the walls and garage all the way around my garden. The only cat that goes out there is my own and she doesn’t like the food I put out for the hogs. Anyway, this morning all the food gone again. The previous two nights there was some left each morning. I am wondering if the big one has returned so will be watching closely. They feed just outside my kitchen door so I can see them quite clearly. We used an old built stone bbq and covered it so they could go under to feed, works very well as it is sheltered. There is also a bowl of water in there. The hogs come in through a hole we cut in our wooden garden gate, too small for cats. I will let you know when they stop coming, surprised they haven’t already though, very cold here now. As you say, we don’t know what triggers hibernation, would love to know that. Regards. Elsie.
