Default Training Hedgehog to graze raised garens

My mate hedgehog was out last night patroling the garden for slugs and
snails. We have had a hell of a load of rain the past 2 weeks so the S&S
have been
out in force.

Anyway, I lifted hedgehog in to one of my raised garden (bout a foot off
gound level) tonight to see if he'd east the slugs there. HH happily seem
to scoff his way through the slugs. I went out later in the evenign to
check on him and he had climbed down one of the ramps I had set up. He is
outside again tonight so I poped him back on the garden and showed him a
few tasty slugs which he wolfed down. I wonder whether I might be able to
train him to climb up a ramp onto the gardens and graze at his own
leisure?

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Don't know if this answers the question but I know they put ramps in
cattle grids to let hedgehogs escape if they fall in
R :-)


yes, both nights he has made his way off the garden via a ramp so he
obviously isn't stupid. I am just hoping he knows how to walk up them as
well.
