You're lucky to have a hedgehog, Charlie. What's your
garden like for slugs and snails ? They are so bad with
me that I just avoid growing some vegetables. I used to
have hedgehogs years ago and they kept the garden clean.
Wish they were back.

I'd love to have hedgehogs in my garden and allotment. We made a nice house
(well two in each place) for any itinerant ones to make a home in, and so
far, zilch! Its Gastropods Galore! here and has been for a few years.

With badgers, you'll be lucky to get hedgehogs - badgers eat them! We do
get hedgehogs in our garden sometimes, even though it's badger country.
It's as if they've worked out some kind of accord - badgers do fields,
hedgehogs do gardens.
