Could someone please advise if hedgehogs should be encouraged or discouraged in the garden. Yes, if there are no dogs in the garden Dog's don't seem to be a problem - I've got two, and plenty of hedgehogs. Admittedly they're small dogs ( terriers ), but the chap just up the lane has four big dogs, and he still has hedgehogs. Dogs seem to be attracted by the smell ( as opposed to the movement..of which there's not usually a lot ), and seem quite happy to sniff, bark and tentatively prod the hedgehog...the latter being something they only do a couple of times before the message sinks in. The hedgehog just rolls itself up and contemplates its navel. This is good news. I reported in the way I did because when I enquired from a hedgehog sanctuary whether they have any hedgehoga to spare, they stipulated that they would only let them go to folks with completely enclosed gardens and no dogs.
