Hedgehogs
Around here, there are some parks with plenty of hedgehogs in them.
Unfortunately the roads around the parks have many hedgehogs in them too, which I normally find dead. Our garden would be ideal for hedgehogs (full of slugs, secret shady corners, sheltered places), but none have ever made their way in. The other night I watched a hedgehog make a perilous trip across the suburban road and felt quite tempted to adopt it. But, I don't want to disturb wildlife, or mess about with things I don't know. Maybe you have some advice or knowledge. Thanks, Daniele |

What's the access like to your garden for hedgehogs? Is it surrounded by impenetrable wooden fencing, or are there plenty of holes and gaps for them to get in? No gaps = no hedgehogs! Or perhaps you have a cat or dog that has frightened them off. The only access is via a passageway which leads to the front, and a suburban street on which every household seems to have two if not three cars. I read that hedgehogs like to wander about for hours at night and cover long distances for such short legs. If they were coming and going for long walks, I don't think our garden would be an ideal base sadly. Daniele |
