I think that's the two I was on about last Wednesday.
As I was watching, I was wondering if the littler one was after milk. But I'd weighed it last week and it was 400g, so surely he's way past that.
The larger one tolerates/ignores it.

A fat hog was sat on the feeder for about 15 minutes last night. I'd put some chicken out on it and a cat wanted some. But the hog was not going to let it have any.

Looks to be joomoo the little one was trying to nudge the larger on off the feeder. Could well be mum and her offspring, but usually they go their own way.

Just went out with some food and I could see one of the twins crossing the road to get to my garden. Thing is it was crossing diagonally, thus having more road to negotiate.

:hug2: Aww - poor itchy, scratching hedgehog :hedgehog:

When I see one scratching again, I could dash out and try to slop a bit of Calamine on its back - I suppose it is a bit like emulsion paint and may incapacitate any fleas for a while but I'd be worried it would be too drying :scratch:

Looked at the videos this morning, and on the small plot there were 3 juveniles together. They were out of the main beam of light so the video was not good quality. Will put out a different camera from tonight to see if I can catch them again.
Seen one juvenile crossing the road again last night also.
