I think we have gone way beyond letting hedgehogs take care of themselves without our intervention. We are developing more and more land and we have encroached on wildlife so much that habitat is too fragmented. I think hedgehogs would be near extinct in this country only but for a few of us providing extra food water and safe gardens to explore. Urban hedgehogs are now faring better that their country cousins only because some of us intervene.
I would love not to need to feed the hedgehogs here but if I didn’t they would search further afield and get run over.
I think providing food and water has now become a life saving necessity for our hedgehogs i’m afraid
