    Just thought I'd share......
    Last night I had not one but two pairs of hedgehogs in my garden - having some...erm... special love!
    I haven't seen any hedgehogs in the garden before so I'm not quite sure attracted them last night - maybe I've created a romantic setting with the gardening I'm doing?!?

        When they've eaten the slugs and snails here I could point them in your direction - but I think they've got quite a feast on their hands here:)

        I had Hodgypigs a few years ago before i had my fence done. There was just one initially which i put dog food out for and it kept coming back so i built a house for it complete with porch, dining room and bedroom. About 3' x 2' x 18" tall with a flip-top lid for cleaning. It must have been a mum to be or new mum as she started bringing loads of grass and stuff and took up nesting and later i discovered 3 babies in with her at which stage I also found my coir brush that went missing one day, buried among her nest lol. They moved out the following year and i had my fence done after that.
