Hedgehogs info please
Last year a Hedgehog made a nest at the base of one of my Bamboo plants and
had 3 babies but one day i found the nest disturbed and the 3 babies lying dead Now theres a new nest and i can see mum curled up at the mouth of it Is there any way I can protect her without upsetting her ........still trying to fathom what caused the problem last year Rats? Fox ? |

Fox ? It could be badgers - they take out hedgehogs. You could perhaps contact the British Hedgehog Preservation Society for advice: http://www.software-technics.com/bhps Address: Hedgehog House, Dhustone, Ludlow, SY8 3PL. Phone: 01584-890801. Email is , but their web site says, oddly, *N.B. We have to send email enquiries by post so they take about a week*, so you might be better off phoning.
