We've got hedgehogs in the garden

Wibbles

Just spotted loads of poo (with insects embedded in it) - it looks as if we've had several hedgehogs overnight…

Slugs and Snails - watch your slimy backs !

Leave them some kitten biscuits and a bowl of water out. You’ll have endless entertainment much better than the TV! I have visiting and semi- resident hedgehogs in my garden. It is a myth that they eat slugs and snails - they will eat them if desperately hungry but they don’t really like them. Mine push the slugs out of their biscuit bowl with a look of pure disgust. 🦔

Hedgehogs are very dangerous for cyclists and scooter riders - they are difficult to see in the dark and they are not at all afraid of getting run over.

I am sure that Hedgehogs would query that - they would probably claim that cyclists are extremely dangerous to them - in fact any rider on any vehicle will come off considerably better than a hedgehog in a coming together….

Poor hedgehogs are being decimated by life in general.

Evolution seems to have switched off hedgehogs' instinct to flee from danger.

I've seen them in my garden in the past

Lucky you @Wibbles, I'd love some little helpers to defend against the slugs and snails in my garden!

I don't live in an area where hedgehogs are commonly seen, but my parents are out in the countryside so they get a fair few.

My mum's involved in the local rescue and she's had a bald hedgehog in her care for quite some time. Glad to say that after almost 6 months as a baldy, he's finally getting some prickles back so hopefully he'll be back out terrorising the slugs soon.

Lovely creatures 😊
