It's not a great movie - I set the camera much too close, but here is hedgy, very hungry and rather chubby. I wonder if it's expecting?!
hedgy is back!

Re: hedgy is back!
Mine has come back too!
A couple of nights ago I was locking up the chickens and taking a quick glance in the dark at the pond (toad watching with a torch).
Not sure which one of us was most surprised, me or the hedgy :)
Nice to know he's still around :)

He already is on the map :)
I plonked him on there last year.

Re: hedgy is back!
Our hedgehog is still visiting every night. I put the camera out again last night to make sure it wasn't anything else that's eating the food - just one hog & a little mouse. I now make up my own food similar to what I used to buy, mix of sunflower hearts/ mealworms/ peanut granules/ raisins. It's easy to store, doesnt attract cats and hedgy loves it. I hope he'll be ok in the cold weather that's coming, I wonder if hedgehogs can have a mini-hibernation? Near the food, in a sheltered spot under a shrub is my old hedgehog house. It is a bit decrepit, so topped with a plastic sheet & some logs & left undisturbed. I recently collected a pile of dried leaves & plonked them in front of it, half of them have gone so tonight I shall point the camera at the old house entrance & see if hedgy has moved in!

Re: hedgy is back!
Alas all the hedgehogs I have seen recently have been road kill
Probaly because the countryside I used to live in has now 8000 houses on the fields with another 10000 going up on the old airfield!

Re: hedgy is back!
Shocking isn't it.
I know road kill is 'accidental', but it's when the hedgehogs are forced somewhere dangerous because they don't have routes through gardens due to block 6' x 6' panel fencing.
One or two fencing companies are producing them with hedgehog holes in them.
I wonder how many people or Developers will use them though !
My hegehog is still turning up nightly. I've moved his or her food into one of the sheds now, approached through a hole and little zig zag so Foxy doesn't nick it after having his own.
You've done well Kitla

Re: hedgy is back!
The roadkill I see a lot of is badgers. (Though I've heard it said that some are killed illegally then thrown down to look like roadkill.)

Re: hedgy is back!
I was feeding our hedgehog every night until a couple of weeks ago when I discovered a rat had started eating the food. I've stopped putting food out & I really hope hedgy will be hibernating now, if not it's the worst time for me to stop feeding him. Does anyone else still have one visiting? or are they sleeping now?

Re: hedgy is back!
They said on tv tonight because of the mild weather hedgehogs have not stuffed themselves enough and are too slender for hibernation
