Hi,
Thank you so much for your information, it is then with a very sad heart that I think from tonight I will stop my feeding station.
I have had hedgehogs in my garden now for a few years as far as I know but I am sure something similar happened last year where about this time the hogs disappeared and did not show again. Obviously they reappeared this year but all noted and taken in.
My garden as well as my elderly neighbour are perfect for hogs I am sure as we both have access to each others through a hedge only and even though I tend my garden there are wild area left to grow undisturbed and full of food etc. It is 100 by 80 foot and I do have 2 hedgehog houses placed hidden amongst the wild areas. I have a hedgehog whole cut in my back wooden fence to access the golf course at the back and also a stream with access to water with log piles and branches scattered around so there are plenty of ground life for everyone.
Anyway sorry got carried away there a bit, Ni & Stef have you any time frame for the stopping of feeding? Should I try again in a months time?
I think I will switch my camera over to my nest boxes then and watch my 5 blue tit chicks being feed and growing up.
Thanks again for the help, even though as you say its not particular what I wanted to hear, lets hope I can still support them in other ways.
