Hello people!
Last year in august, I found a wounded hedgehog : it had a cut on it’ side and the wound smelled terrible. I was able to wash out the infected wound and after spending a few weeks in a box, I released it back into my garden. The hog only weighed in at 350 gram so I kept feeding it in a makeshift feeding station.
Thanks to my wildlife camera, I was able to catch it on multiple occasions for weighing and general checkup and in november, it was around 450 gram : still critical just before hibernation.
I was thrilled to see it apear on camera in march, and started to improve my feeding station with a 3D printed silo (design downloadable for free on thingiverse) and a camera system.
I now have a very decent and popular feeding station, 3 permanent camera’s and have up to 4 different hedgehogs that visit every night.My original female hog still visits on a regular basis to check out the feeding station. I have footage every night of different hedgehog situations : hogs eating themselves in a food coma, male hogs fighting and hoggies just munching and crunching.
