I'm fairly sure that I only have one visiting now. There are some cold nights forecast during the coming 7 days so I'm thinking it's nearly bed time for them.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
I am still putting out food every night and most of it gets eaten. Cold frosty weather is forecast for the end of the week so it might be hibernation time.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Me too, going by the cameras it looks like I have at least three coming in for food.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
It was a good frost last night but the hog came as usual and it has already been tonight. Mrs. JS said it must be very hungry to want to come out when its very cold and I think she is right.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Mine are still coming in each night. But later, So is slowing down. Some food left over this morning.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Another very cold night but they still came. A fully grown one and a half grown one. It was the first time we'd seen the smaller one.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
They can manage quite well in the cold, so is not the problem. It is the scarcity of food this time of the year. Am putting out some extra for them to keep the furnace going.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Me too but they only half emptied the bowl last night. It is forecast to be very cold again tonight so we'll see how much gets consumed.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Went out with some food again just after 10pm. There were two juveniles at the wall feeder and one had been marked which looked quite fresh. looks like to me that others are feeding them as well, which is good, especially this time of the year.
