Default Suspected Hedgehog droppings from a couple of months ago

A few months ago I posted about trying to identify some droppings in the
garden.
Well a couple of uncomfortable evenings hiding near the veggie patch, the
culprits have been caught red-handed - or rather - red-bummed. And yes, it
was hedgehogs. A family of 3.

I have been putting normal cat-food out, but only a little just to tempt
them in to the garden, and as I only use such a little bit the rest often
goes bad before I can use it all up.

Does anyone know if they'll eat dried cat/kitten-food pellets if I mix them
with a bit of water or milk or something?
Is it good/bad for them?


They'll eat dried cat food, but put a bowl of water nearby. Don't give
them milk - they can't digest it easily and it's bad for them.

You can also try dried fruit.

Avoid the fish flavoured tinned cat foods.
