Default Training Hedgehog to graze raised garens

Daughter and Son in Law have the whole of their garden walled because of the
rabbit problem :-)

So where did they get in? :-((

Under the main gates to the drive :-((

They have had to fit chicken wire as a skirt!!

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?

'Any' animal can be trained. If you have the rapport and time with said
hedgehog, he/she will respond as long as you treat it kindly. Reward is
the secret........... as you have found.

Good luck.

Lucky you. I have a dire rabbit problem so my garden is well fenced, keeps
the rabbits out but the flip side is the hedgehogs cannot get in either!
