Home Forums Hedgehog signs and sightings Last sighting of 2018 Reply To: Last sighting of 2018

Since New Year’s Eve there has been no further sign of any hedgehog activity in the garden, despite some mild weather/

With last night’s temperature below zero and a frost on the grass I was surprised to find the indicator straws across one of my hog-houses and a nearby feeding station both triggered.

(During cold inactive periods I keep the hog-houses stocked with dried food which keeps and doesn’t freeze)

So tonight I added some tinned cat food and set up the trail-cam.

With a bright full moon and a cloudless sky, the temperature plummeted again and the frosted grass sparkled in my headlight beam when I went to check at 9pm.

Sure enough both indicators had been triggered again, so I collected the trail-cam (which was covered in frost) to check.
