Your Garden Hedgehogs

[JooMoo]

And at about 5:30, I looked up to see the little one going to the feeder again. He went in the station as I ran around to the back door. I got myself all ready to nab him, but I wanted to see what he was going to do. After a little feed he came out, had a drink then shot off. He didn't alter his path, he went straight around to the front and into the newly positioned feeder there. I only just managed to open the gate and duck my head to see him go into it. I did have a quick peek inside and he was there.

I phoned my hoggy lady for a chat and she was a bit undecided on what to do. So we agreed to leave him tonight, but if I do see him again, that's it, he's off to hog camp for her to fatten him up.

He seems to have settled into your garden really well, JooMoo - maybe he's just a little bit afraid of the dark or lost his Mum too early

Bang on half 5 again, the little one came for his food. I know it was 5:30 as the shopping delivery man was late.
I grabbed him and put him in a box until I'd sorted out my shopping, phoned the hog lady and arranged to take him to her.
When we got there, she had a look.She though he seemed OK, but his eyes were sunken. He was about 380g
While we were sorting out another hog for me to bring home for release, I was holding him. He just seemed very alert and tame. He didn't curl up or prickle. I had him wrapped in a duster, but I was stroking his head and nose. I put him close to one of the other hogs and he was very interested.
I hope that he recovers from anything that he might have and comes back home soon.
The new guy's name is Ken and I popped him into a hog house and trailed food down to the main feeder. I've not seen him yet.

This is Laytie. He's the little one who's gone to the hog-spa

And this is Ken, the new hog on the block. Apparently he was picked up as a baby as he was orphaned.

Laytie is a delight but Ken looks a bit grumpy.

What a funny thing to do to a shopping delivery man .......

He'd been stuck in a box for an hour and then put in the sink (not for a bath, just so he didn't run off) No wonder he was grumpy.

And he did find his way down to the main feeder.
