Hi Annie
The two hoglets are still visiting so looks as if there are going to be Christmas hogs here again! So far, mostly, the cats just come and look but aren’t going under the Perspex. I added a slight extension which seems to have helped. The mouse is still visiting but the rat not every night.
I wonder whether the hoglets or one of them might be nesting underneath my shed. An ideal location. But I also have a hogilo down the garden – very difficult to tell whether anyone is in there or not. The hoglets do still spend a bit of time foraging on the grass and I found a video with one of them catching a worm on the patio. So, they are still getting some ‘wild’ food.
Re. the batteries. I have got used to changing them (rechargeable ones) every day on the patio cam – where the food is. If I leave it longer the clips just get very short, which is irritating. In the Summer they sometimes get short towards the end anyway. The cam on the grass usually lasts 2 or 3 days – depends how many times cats walk backwards and forwards! I tried using non-rechargeable ones to start with, but they just didn’t last very long, so I thought rechargeable ones might work out cheaper in the long run.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas.
