Mice and voles stealing all the food

    I have several hedgehogs visiting the feeding station, always at least one every night. I have a feeding station from Riverside woodcraft with tunnels to prevent cats (which was previously an issue). Now I have mice and voles treating it as their personal diner. One or two wasn’t a problem at all but now they can clean up all the kibble before the hogs get a look in. The resulting population explosion is also a problem for my plants! I have added specially made Perspex hog flaps to the tunnels. They swing freely but after two nights the hogs still haven’t figured them out. The mice, on the other hand, appear to have! I am worried that I will now be deterring the hogs. How long do I give it? It’s hard to watch the videos seeing them try and fail. Any other suggestions? Many thanks.
