Hi Hostie 61 and Erico Jez
So sorry to hear about the poor hogs that died. It must have been very ditressing for you finding them. It isn’t possible to say what killed them, from afar, but you might like to report them: https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/help-ive-found-a-dead-hedgehog/
However, some foxes and even dogs can kill hogs, but also chemicals (slug pellets, rat bait, etc.) could be the cause. Although you may not use chemicals in your own gardens, hedgehogs need many gardens – they can travel up to 2 miles a night – so could be exposed to chemicals elsewhere.
You might like to enter the poor hogs onto the Big Hedgehog Map. I always think it is a way of making sure that their existence was marked and the information may help other hogs. The map is accessed via the Home Page of Hedgehog Street.
