Maybe I can rig up a cat-proof tunnel or similar, but they're pretty ingenious animals. Any extra wildlife in my garden is welcome. Ta. Apparently all you need do is place a saucer over the bowl of cat food. It appears that this will flummox the average cat, but will not deter the hedgehog. Ha, I like it ! I'll give it a try with a little bit, I don't want to stop it eating it's natural food (unless it's toads :-) ). Tim. You could try dog food, my cats at least wouldn't touch the stuff, but hedgehogs are not so fussy. ISTR dog food is not good for hedgehogs. Not high enough meat content. There is a tinned hedgehog food available, but I can't remember where I saw it. Dog food plus biscuit, well soaked, is fine. Cat food plus dog biscuit is also fine; even small quantities of bread&milk is fine. As Pat Morris used to say, the thing to remember is that all of these are junk food by hedgehog standards. Don't put out vast quantities, just enough to encourage the hhogs to visit as they trundle about eating what they should. regards sarah -- Waist deep, neck deep We'll be drowning before too long We're neck deep in the Big Muddy And the damned fools keep yelling to push on |
