Hello everyone, just an update.

Two nights ago the hedgehog didn’t go into the laundry-basket trap.

Last night I didn’t set it, but when I went out to put the rabbits away I found a motionless, non-curled-up hog near the unset trap. I managed to capture it by simply picking it up and putting it in the box. Either it’s the one with a lame leg or it’s not, but whichever way, it could clearly use some help. It’s about to go to the local wildlife rescue centre for a once-over!
