Hi Nic
Happy New Year to you, sincerely hope it’s better than 2020.
Well hedgehog activity has finally stopped, the one in the house was taking food most nights til a week or so back so now I’ve draped ferns & greenery across the doorway loosely to disguise it more as stuff dies back for winter & it’s remained covered.
I put a camera out the back & found two hedgehogs on there several nights then one night a couple of weeks ago to my horror saw Cino cat had found her way in to eat the food against all odds. She’s a small cat but even so I was surprised she got in. Worst part is that was a freezing night & it was obvious watching clips that by the time a hog spent going in & straight back out again later that night she’d eaten all their food. Hope fully they’d eaten earlier & other people around were still feeding that night. Haven’t seen them since but put food out with water in the shelter to stop it freezing every night & another bowl of water under a piece of roof shaped wood to keep it from freezing for anybody wandering around the garden.
The next time I post on here I anticipate being Spring (only a few weeks really) when everyone wakes up & comes to reclaim the food from the mice as I’ve rebuilt the feeder & they’re the only animal getting in, they’re having a whale of a time. I’ll start a new one & look forward to hearing about your new visitors when they arrive.
Stay safe Nic.
