That is great JS to have three in one go. I am having regular visits each night now. Were two huffing and puffing last week.

Lots of hedgehog activity at the moment. two to three adults, and three to four juveniles.

Whilst tidying up a part of my garden this afternoon I had a very strange find. A hedgehog skull
. I know it was a hog because there were still some oddments of skin attached with spines and little bits of hair. A the time of posting I have not found any more remains which begs the question how did it get there and where are the other bones?
I have one rather tenuous theory. About two months ago a hog was run over in the road outside of my house. Did some scavenger manage to separate the head and bring it into the garden for a small meal?

Oh wow, that must have been a bit of a shock. And you are probably right Jack, some scavenger probably eat the poor dead hog somewhere else, than another one took leftovers and brought them to your garden to eat them in peace?
So much going on in our gardens behind our backs, and most of the time we never find out

That`s a shame JS. Probably like you said a scavenger brought it in.

Do you watch them to see if they need any help Willpar? If they are strong enough to hibernate? I know that a wildlife rescue who deal with hogs say that this year they are having quite a lot of admissions of a very young (for this time of the year) hoglets who are too thin to be able to survive hibernation. Its worrying
