Hi LalaBlanca

Thanks for all that – amazing that you did it all. I think it is worth noting that this is talking about needy hedgehogs, by which I assume it means hedgehogs taken into care for some reason. I imagine it would be particularly interesting to what we call hedgehog carers or rehabilitators.

The food which we put out for the hedgehogs, in the wild, should only ever be supplementary to what they can find for themselves. That is why it’s so important to place more emphasis on trying to improve and increase the habitat for the hedgehogs so that they can find their own natural wild food. One of the main things about Hedgehog Street is to encourage people to make holes in their boundary fences/walls, so that hedgehogs can move more freely from garden to garden, and that way have access to more wild food.

Thanks again for all your work.
