    Hello,
    I have a feeding station with a camera and every night have several visitors sometimes two at a time. every night by 2 am all the food and water is gone so any visitors after this have nothing. Do i need to add more bowls of food do you think? there is probably enough room for one extra food bowl. thanks

    Our little spiky friends should not have to rely on “supplementaries” but as there’s less and less prey naturally I’ve got to 3 feeding stations in the garden with the appropriate meaty cat food out every night with a bit of dried scattered around to make them forage. If you really do want to get up at 2am; they do have a fast metabolism and fill up and evacuate about every 4 hours!
    They may well be coming to you first to fill up and then having to find “live” food for the rest of the night. According to the latest research read today in the BHPS news their habits have probably changed towards making a beeline (hogline?) to sources of regular feeding. Whatever you do, don’t forget water!
