Title: Hedgehog
Post by: cam2502 on 18 July 2014, 21:14:15
Spotted a baby hedgehog wandering around in the garden around 6pm tonight. First time we've seen one in the garden. Took our 15 month old daughter out for a look and she was well impressed  :)
Swmbo put a small amount of milk out, and we were horrified half an hour later to discover this can actually kill them! Luckily it only had a small sip before wandering off so I doubt any damage has been done. Never knew hedgehogs could die from milk!
Nice to see the little fella though, hopefully he'll visit us again.  :)

Daughter had a couple ...erm... coupling in her garden recently, they are very noisy apparently, something like I think I remember. :-X :(

A little catfood and some water is best for hedgehogs.

A neighbour put a small square hole in the base of their shed, a box of straw in the corner and the hedgehogs call it home. :y
They don't half squeal when they get trapped in the electric fence for the chickens, the problem is they get a little shock and curl into a ball getting trapped in the fence :( and then get a bolt every ten seconds so never unfurl themselves to get away :(

you  would make a lot of noise if you had a lot of prickles stuck in you!
