Hi, I am new to Hedgehog Street, so hello. Our garden is very wildlife friendly, and we are keen environmentalists. Consequently we were so happy to see late on 8th March our first hedgehog in the garden for 4 years, then on 16th March two hedgehogs together. We have been feeding them with the right dry kitten food + water in the feeding station my husband has built. Sadly no food has been taken now for 3nights, is this quite normal, am I just being impatient.
I am concerned too – reading about the dangers of peanuts and sunflowers, for hedgehogs. We feed the birds daily and get many varieties, the blue tits and great tits get very picky! selecting their nuts, and scatter them willy nilly. Incidentally our dog shouldn’t eat these either!! I am praying these nuts and seeds won’t have affected our new visitors what do you think? Thankyou I look forward to your help and advice. Valg
