Hi Annecoles

Good to hear you have hogs there. You will be able to tell if they are males or females. With courting hedgehogs the male circles the female, whilst she – in the centre of the circle – turns round and round, huffing as she goes. This can go on for hours, but often doesn’t lead to mating. Male and females don’t pair up, as such, and one litter of hogs can apparently have more than one father.

Fingers crossed you have males and females around and that there will be a patter of little hoglet feet later on.

Good luck.

Hedgehog
