Hi all,
We are very lucky to have hedgehogs in our back garden this year.
I decided to cut a hole in my rear fence that backs onto an dead ended alleyway lined with hedges. We cut the hole on Wednesday and by luck we had a hedgehog visitor Thursday night. We are putting hedgehog biscuit and cat food and we have also put a small hut with ramp and hinged roof.
Friday night there were two marks in the hay in the hut, one large and one small, last night we went out and inside the hut was a large hedgehog absolutely soundos.
He had eaten all the food and gone to sleep. He was gone this morning so are obviously happy to eat and kip then leave before morning.
Is it normal for hedgehogs to do this?
I have set up my first trail camera this evening to hopefully capture more of what’s going on.
Thanks for the read
