Hi Nic
Couldn’t wait for your reply without telling you I’ve just ordered a hedgehog house & hay from Riverside Woodcraft, recommended by Hedgehog Cabin. As my visitors are still very active it seemed a plan as if they haven’t sorted their winter accommodation yet they’ll have a nice safe place to spend their snoozes. I have the ideal spot in the front garden, it’s where Frankie’s kennel used to be under a shrub, against a fence, completely sheltered, shaded & cool & doesn’t get water logged. The difference between this & Frankie’s kennel is he had a fleecy bed, blankets & a microwaveable heat pad & the hogs will have hay.
I set up the camera last night out the back for the first time for a couple of months probably & there were several hogs visiting over around 7 hours. All that’s left in the food bowls in the morning front & back is usually some crumbs & occasionally there’s a night as there was all year when nobody visited the front & some food was left in the back.
Hoping you’ve seen some more action that isn’t a cat or rat!
Stay safe.
