I’ve been feeding hedgehogs for several years now, and about 5 years ago, I did have one that came right throughout the winter. I suspected he was living next door, and unlike in the summer, when he would come to the feeding station several times during the night, he would only make one visit for a nibble and a good long drink. I couldn’t believe how much he drank some nights, even though the water must have been ice cold! Last summer, I think I had a couple of regular visitors and I continued to put food out into November until the temperatures dropped and it was obvious they’d stopped coming. I live in rural Lincolnshire and on Tuesday night, I decided to put some food out as we were forecast a milder night, and it had disappeared in the morning! So last night, I put some more out together with my camera, and Hedgie appeared at 2am. He didn’t eat all the food so obviously isn’t starving!
