Have a look at a recent post in this ‘carers’ thread ‘Moving house’ Lots of relevant info in there.
As Nic rightly says hedgehogs have a wide range. Your garden will be just be one of a number your hedgehogs visit. Any feeding should be supplementary to their natural diet. If you are leaving them a garden with planting, little quiet overgrown spaces, maybe a log pile then your spiky friends should continue to call, as there will be lots of insect food for them. Water is important to them – maybe you could leave some hedgehog leaflets/ info/ photos for the new residents. If they just start with putting a dish of water out it might lead to greater things……….
Re: food. If you use a feeding station maybe gradually shut it down but start to scatter/reduce the food round the garden then the hogs get the idea to snuffle out their supper as nature intended.
Hope you are happy in your new home and you are blessed with more hedgehog visitors.
