Your Garden Hedgehogs

[Biker]

Hi Placi ! Dog and cat food is a good supplement food for Hedgehogs according to many wildlife charities and hospitals. The food contains much of the natural material they eat. Meat only - not fish (so avoid 'Chappie' dog food as this is derived from a fish base) and any cat based fish foods. Fish is avoided as it can contain small bones that can choke Hogs.
Don't over feed on meat dog/cat food though. Only a quarter of a tin per Hog, unless they eat it all, in which case increase the supplement just a little.

A hedgehog ho-down. See the ivory tickler has a heather brew.

Rough and tumble.

Up until Friday evening I regularly had three hogs visiting by 11 o'clock. A smallish one is always first followed by two adults. On Friday night the tow adults had a bit of a barney. I didn't see any rough stuff but there was plenty of huffing and puffing and suddenly one ran off. The other stayed for a while then wandered off.. I haven't seen either of the adults since The small one is still coming and has a big bowl of food to itself.

This wet weather must have made life easier for hedgies - slugs and snails must find it a mixed blessing

The cameras here picked up several hedgehogs last night placi, even though it was tipping down. They were certainly out in force.

Easy food. Back to normal for them .
The drought must have been hard-going.
Earthworms can go 2 metres deep to find the moist soil they require to prevent drying out.
Someone should invent a Hedgiespade

One of my Hogs decided last night to visit my covered patio. It is the first time for a long time one of them has bothered to do this. It left it's calling card just to say thank you for the shelter from the rain.
