    Hi everyone, I am new here but been visiting a while to garner information about hedgies. I am part of a small ladies group who are mad about them and in our communal garden we have two feeding stations in seperate areas and two sleeping boxes. My hubby noticed the first hedgies to visit way back in Spring of this year and now we have four or five that we regularly see via our cameras. Last night though I found one sleeping in our bin area which was very strange and another that felt sleeping on top the food bowl first and then on top of the water bowl and was there for about 4 hours plus until 5 am today. Is this normal behaviour ?
    It’s great to be here and share all hedgies stuff and thank you for any insights.

    Hi Yarny

    Welcome to the Forum! Sorry no-one’s replied sooner.

    Great news about the hedgehogs and lovely that you have your ladies group to share all things hedgehog with!

    Some hogs will take naps during the night – sometimes in seemingly strange places but maybe it makes sense to them i.e. maybe sheltered from the wind in the bin area? The food and water bowls probably don’t seem uncomfortable to them with all those spines cushioning them. I have had nests built here on top of food bowls – although I hope the water bowl was empty by then! They may be sleeping a bit more than before in the build up to hibernation. And they might disappear for hibernation soon, but it won’t be long until the Spring when hopefully we’ll see all our old friends back again.

    Good luck and happy hog watching!
