Hi All,
It has been quite an eventful few weeks here in our wild Basingstoke garden! Day after day starting approx 3/4 weeks back a fully grown hedgehog was out and about in our garden and beyond always between 16:30 and 19:30. Was just very excited to have one, as I had my suspicions that she had made their home in our garden waste pile, but was also concerned seeing her out and about in daylight hours. I checked around on the internet and saw the only reasons a fully grown healthy hedgehog would be out and about at that time was if she was a expecting or new mother!! My hopes grew and we’re finally founded this evening! Four! That’s right four little hedgehogs were rummaging around in our garden late this evening (and still are by the sounds of it!). Earlier in the evening I had checked our camera trap overlooking their food bowl and seen two of the little hogs (which was absolutely wonderful), and after going out this evening (at the time they appeared in the photos), it turns out the mother has given birth to four amazing little hogs and they all seem inquisitive and cheeky all at once.
I will try and upload photos of the little ones when I can, but if the early photos are anything to go by they’ll be incredible.
I’ll keep putting food and water out for them all and hope they never leave!
It is such amazing privlage watching them grow and develop, you’l get very attached to them (if not already🤣)
