Willpar wrote:Hi Bikey, usually it is a bit hit and miss as to how much food to put out. Sometimes food is left over or all eaten. that was how I measured mine, if all eaten put out a bit more, if not a bit less. But I would say a pretty good guide for a medium size one would be one of those tin foil cat food dishes full. Not the dog as they are deeper. They are the tin foil trays like you get in lidl. I used to keep those trays for food. Now I use proper dishes. But that is a good guide, an if need be can vary it as to how much is eaten or not.
:wave2: Brilliant :yes: Thanks Willpar. That is exactly what I will do. :nod:

The little hedgehogs just keep springing up. This little one was on the small plot tonight. Took it in to weigh and mark. Came in at 236gr.

Got these couple of clips out in the garden. First clip of a juvenile on the small plot. The second clip of a juvenile under the hedge in the main garden. It goes to the same place there most nights for a nap.

Great videos Willpar. Jealous as I haven't see a live hedgehog for a very, very long time. Just about forgot what they look like but your posts refresh my memory.
