Thank you so much everyone who has helped me out with this. I have just read all the comments and will take everything to mind. I haven’t looked on hedgehog street much lately as we haven’t had any hogs since June , I think they were having their hoglets but about a week ago one came back, it looked like a young one so maybe one of this years hoglets that has left mum.
At the moment we are feeding our hog spike’s dry food but I don’t know if he or she is too keen as not all of it is eaten and we don’t put out a lot. I would say only about 2 tbsp maybe less than that, as you all said only supplementing a hogs natural diet so I will have a look at the small dog food.
Since our hog has been back we have been watering our garden with the hose just before he/she comes to try to get the slugs and snails out. Our garden is quite overgrown and full of ivy so I imagine that we get quite a lot of insects
We put out bowls of water as you have said but we’ve had water bowls out there for years now because of our cats ( they are fine with the hogs and usually come in because they are scared of them 😂) we’ve also seen hedgehogs drinking out of our pond which is safe with a ledge and sloping sides if they were to fall in. 🙂
