Hedgehogs
Reading jaysay's thread regarding fox's got me thinking of childhood evenings when mum and dad used to call us downstairs because there was a hedgehog in the garden We would give it some dog food then off it went on it's travels.
I know they are generally on the decline but how rare is it to see them now? I get to see quite a lot of different wildlife where we live but I haven't seen a hedgehog in years! Chav, I want to know about live ones please, not ones your car tyres have encountered.

Re: Hedgehogs
I had them in my back garden on a regular basis until they built two new estates on two sides of where I live. They where a god send and super slug control bods. I haven’t seen one in my garden for about three years now and they are sadly missed.
When we had the pen up at Fern Gore we took them for granted and you could find them without much effort. I remember picking one up and finding it covered in little red mites, yuk.

Re: Hedgehogs
Haven't seen one for a couple of years tinks. Perhaps it's the weather, or perhaps I just haven't been out in the garden in an evening so much.
Did you know hedgehogs can climb fences?

Re: Hedgehogs
I think it's a few things, yes the weather and as Doug mentioned new housing developments, it's made all the hedgehogs go to Grannyclarets Cleveleys retreat for a holiday!

Re: Hedgehogs
I don't see them that often, but they make a hell of a sound when the Mummy and Daddy ones are playing at horses.
Although they are cute they are usually lousey with fleas and mites.
