Hedgehog update
 

Our grumpy female hedgehog has added another trick to its repertoire, this
is what we found when attempting to feed the dog at 6 this evening, cheeky
beggar had got past two doors in broad daylight and did not de-camp even
when my wife started cooking our tea

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.

I could post you a couple. They seem to use our back garden as some sort of
fight arena. :-)

Apparently that's their mating habit - extremely noisy! I wonder if it's
embarrassing to other hedgehogs. ;-)

I expect I have lots of slugs and snails otherwise the hedgehogs would go
elsewhere :~)
