Hello, same here I’m afraid. I have an urban garden on the edge of town in Devon with regular hedgehog visitors each year as there is an overgrown lane out the back. I have been feeding the current hedgehog/s since spring with no issue. I was very surprised to see a badger appear on my camera recently which was quite exciting. However, a few nights later on 12/09/24 I also caught it on camera rolling away a hedgehog. Sadly I found the gruesome remains later and there have been no hedgehogs since. It is upsetting, but that’s nature I guess. I am wondering if the badger cull is causing displacement. Clearly the poor badger was also hungry and not content with earthworms etc. It did return a few times and was clearly searching for a further hedgehog snack. I have stopped putting out any biscuits and will wait a while in the hope they return at some point.
