I have been feeding hedgehogs in my garden for 4 years now and early on I thought someone was marking the hedgehogs but now have come to the conclusion that it is mud. I have a trail camera set up and it seems to pick out the mud I have had one with a perfect heart on it, a V and different stripes. I live in a small village. I rescued 7 to over winter and realeased 4 poorly ones in the spring. My camera picks up roughly 40 visits a night and this week we have had a fox cub feeding with a hedgehog. I am sure some people do mark them I never would even though I would love to know how many I am feeding. Babies are arriving to feed and last night it was a bit pornographic when 2 were making love they didn’t even spend all the time circling like they normally do.
