Hi Nuthatch, no it never got out of the box. Only put them in there as it is easier to mark. Don't want to be chasing it all over the front room.

I was watching a good 10 minutes of hedgehog porn earlier.
I think she was up for it as a few times he seemed to get a good "mounting" on her :D :D

I did go and break it up as I'd not marked him.
I've now marked 4 and was naming them alphabetically after Game of Thrones female characters and drawing up where I'd marked them on an oval shape. Perhaps now I know that "Brienne" is a boy I need to call him "Bronn" "Cersei" is definitely the girl.

I noticed this evening that the hedgehog using the far lodge has been taking in nesting material. Namely cellophane bags. Will put out a bit of hay later to see if that goes.

The hedgehog took in all the hay I put out, so have put out some more.
Also put a camera near the lodge.
This is from last night.

I am firmly convinced I am getting nightly visits from at least one Hog. The number of CCs I'm finding about the garden would suggest two. :)

Well done jacksparrow. Not quite sure how many I am getting at the moment. But they are getting through one heck of a lot of food.

Here are a couple of clips from last night.

I found two little pools of what I thought was sick on my garden path today. I get nocturnal visits from several Cats so it may be one of them but it didn't resemble anything I'd seen before. Anybody have confirmed sightings of Hedgie vomit?
