Our back garden hog has already got into the routine of regular visits to the feeding station every night, often eats/drinks then returns 20-40 minutes later for the same and can repeat this several times over the night. I had some nights last year where the same hog would sometimes visit 8-10 times in a night. They are obviously quite small animals but I still find it quite odd that they often eat small amounts then return so much rather than having a good feed in one visit. I do worry a bit how much me feeding them is ‘supplementary’ or maybe replacing their natural diet a bit too much so I never put a lot of food out and sometimes skip a day so they don’t rely on it too much.
I decided to start moving the feeding station around a bit just to make them work for it a bit more and not get into a lazy routine. In this video I put it on the decking it is living under, you can see how they are good at scrambling over obstacles…and also totally ignoring the purpose built hedgehog steps I made 🤣
