Hi Jane from Suffolk, I live in Eye Suffolk. Sometimes people do mark hedgehogs to tell them apart. I have released hedgehogs given to me by a rescue centre and they are marked to help assess their progress.
I think if the marking is subtle and non toxic it can be of value. Normally it doesn’t stay on long.
There are reports of some markings being way over the top which is unnecessary.
