Hi Nic
Well hooray for that, finally you’ve had the hogs you deserve after all the spiky visitors you used to have & fed for so long.
Last week on Thursday I saw a hedgehog in the garden during the day but she was out of sight by the time I got outside then Friday at 15.30 in full sunshine she was coming up the path again & being pestered by a pair of magpies. She sheltered in the feeding station this time so I was able to pick her up & put her in a rescue box. Wales hedgehog helpline came up trumps after I rang round every hedgehog rescue I could find, we took her to a carer about 9 miles away & it turns out she’s a dehydrated female about 300g. She’s going to stay there about 6-7 weeks until she’s better & doubled in weight then come back here. I’ve been clearing leaves from the parking area near here for people to compost & am bringing lots home to pile up in the garden for anyone who wants them to use for their winter home so hopefully she’ll be able to hunker down for the season.
A success story for a change.
