All you want to know about hedgehogs....

Made a hibernating hog house from house bricks and 2 house roof tiles.
Can just see the white tunnel

 

Just been watching 2 feeding together, a small and a large one they stayed there for about 10 minutes.

 

We have just had two small hogs visit, I thought we had one but tonight a third larger one turned up!
I got a dodgy pic of the small one.

 

Aww cute @strongylodon I'm going to start looking out for them now.

 

I've been feeding 2 all winter, 1 has a lot of tic's around his/her face, so every few night I go out and catch it to get it used to me handling it so that I then can remove them

 

That's great @strongylodon
@Jiffy it shouldn't take long for the hog to get used to you.

I've had more than one hog these last nights, the feeding station has been moved and the water bowl.

 

He/she just doesn't want to un roll so that I can de tick him/she but hopefully i'll get there

We now have 3 hogs 2 big-ish one's and now one small one which I will be keeping an eye on because he/she is the size of an apple so very young

 

He/she is very lucky to get through the winter that small.

Last October we had to rescue a small one from our garden, it was in the afternoon it was still light and it was hobbling around he/she didn't know what to do. I picked him/her up and we found a rescue to take it to but he/she died, it was too infested with worms.The woman treated him/her but it was too late.

 

We have 2 come every night, the feeding station gets moved about a bit. The one night i found out why, one of them was trying to get out the back of it but there's no entrance that way.

 

I put food out every night and for 2 nights running all the food has gone. Because it doesn't get dark so early i can't keep up with what's happening.

 

Hogs are coming before it gets dark so I managed to get a cleared pic of one last night.

 

I few times in the morning when it's almost light there's been one feeding.

 

Our smaller hog last night getting in quick!

 

Only got one coming in at the mow, so hope the other 2 are making new one's

 

Still get at least one but not every night, hope that he/she goes into one of the 3 houses that we built last autumn.
