Hedgehogs - Decline and Fall
Discussion
We had Snuffles come into our garden this year, so the wife promptly went out and ordered a Hedgehog house for it. It arrived damaged so the company sent another one and told us to keep the original one. Snuffles now has a feeding house and a sleeping house 
We feed a mixture of hedgehog food, seeds and mealworm.
We feed a mixture of hedgehog food, seeds and mealworm. Funny that this thread came up the other day as I then thought that I haven't seen our garden hog for quite some time, at least a year maybe more. So last night I was sat by the open patio doors doing something on the computer and start hearing noises. Turn the garden lights on and there it is, big bugger too. I watched it for a while but it was obviously alerted to my presence so scurried off to hide in amongst the plant pots. I turned the lights off to see if it would come out again, a while later heard some funny grunting noises and it was halfway up the lawn. Went for another look and it scurried off under the kids trampoline. I would have tied to get some photos but it seemed to be on a mission last night and wasn't staying still for long. Loads of slugs and snails in the garden at the moment so hope they are getting mopped up
