Here's one of my first hedgehogs of the year at my home made feeding station!!

Lucky you

A lovely sight, I haven't seen a hedgehog at all for a couple of years let alone in the garden!

Lucky You!!! I've lived here for 15 years and have never seen a hedgehog around here

Did you know you had them around your area before you made your feeding station Alison?

Hope it returns and brings his friends

How lovely, Alison!

Very similar set-up to my feeding station

Can I be nosey and ask what the white screen on the wall is for?

Still waiting for mine to put in an appearance. I know he's out there somewhere. A neighbour has said she has seen a large hedgehog in her garden in the last week.

Ah, my little friend is back again tonight. Munching away at his dog food!!

I knew I had hedgehogs as I have seen their 'calling cards'. I had a lot last year (and released two after overwintering them in my spare bedroom). I am also taking delivery of five next week for release in my garden and also in one of my friend's and my mum's garden. They are from a guy in Cambridge that lives close to a very busy road. I offered to take them off his hands, as they seem to do well here. Also have to collect one I tried to overwinter this year, but had to go to the hoggy hopsital as was unwell.

So all in all, I am very hoggy friendly!!

Hedgehoggy - the white thing is actually our attempt at mending our rotting shed door! Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

Hoggy hugs to everyone!!

Alison

Aw, great. We have a hog house with something living in it, but I don't think it's a hedgehog.

What do you think it is?

Something's making a little path. Could be a frog.

I've just seen my garden hedgehog. Well at 8.30 p.m. I went to put out food under the bushes near to the hedgehog house and there he/she was, going back inside the box. Really happy to see him/her. Was beginnning to wonder if I did have a hedgehog in the garden. Glad he'she's living in the box. I have put more food out as he/she had eaten half by 9.00 p.m. Will check again before I go to bed.
