Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
The Hog nadgers must have been busy this evening. I had one foraging at 6.30 in broad daylight. It looked perfectly happy stopping occasionally for the odd titbit.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Good to hear JS, mine seem to be coming in late at the moment. Well after dark.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Been around three weeks now since I have had hedgehogs in the garden. Perhaps they will return in the autumn to get some extra weight put on.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
That is very unusual for you! Has something frightened them?
Mine are still coming but in the dead of night. The food has been disappearing and CCs are to found around the garden including the feeding area.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Hi JS, don't know what it could be, they can go awol during the summer, but now is putting on weight time in readiness for the big sleep. Has been some new fencing go up but that was months ago. Have not had a badger visit for several years now.
Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
Never expected the hedgehogs to go into hibernation, which was quite early for me if that is what they have done. But another thing have noticed is that there has been no juveniles in the garden this year. Does no mean there were none, just that they have not come to the garden.

Re: Your Garden Hedgehogs
I had one juvenile appear this year and it is still visiting most nights. I think there are others because of the number of CCs I find. It is still fairly mild with no frost so I expect to keep feeding for a while.Willpar wrote: ↑Wed Nov 05, 2025 9:30 amNever expected the hedgehogs to go into hibernation, which was quite early for me if that is what they have done.
