        Think I read somewhere about nail polish on one spine, fantastic pictures , we are all looking forward to the patter of tiny hoglet feet.

            our Hodgy has a funny eye so we always know its him...not that we need to check anymore, no random hedgehog would carry on the way he does...more like a dog! believe it or not (no one ever believes me)but when he's within ear shot he comes when we call him...its quite a sight to see :rofllol: he even lets me pick him up without curling up or anything...course i only ever pick him up to bring him to his food if the neighbours cats are hanging around so they dont get it first so he knows its a good thing...he is such an amazing little chap :imphrt:

                You think Our Mandy should poke his one in the eye so he can distinguish him from the others? Steady on now, hb :ouch1: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  You attach the 'flag' part to their spines, sans cocktail stick. You could change the flags seasonally so they can wear the latest fashions :coffee:

                    I sat out in the dark on the patio tonight after placing a few bits of cat food on a plate there to see if the Hedgehogs were okay. Sure enough within 10 minutes all three turned up to snuffle and snaffle the food, so happy with that I renewed the food and left them to it.:coffee::snork:

                            We're usually too drunk to know:dunno::doh:

                            I was contemplating a pic of them but as it was in the dark I would have to use flash and I didn't want to startle them. I leave the Hedgehogs to get on with things and don't usually bother them so when I do occasionally see them it's a nice surprise.:snork:

                              Yes I think they would have got a fright and maybe wouldn't then want to have something to eat on the patio in future.

                              I'm glad to know that the new addition has found the other two....looks like they've made friends!
