                I would love to get my Hedgehogs back. Last year I received a call for help after my sister found an entire family in her garden being chased by her dog !!! I rushed over there and managed to rescue 2 . I heard ' squeaking' later on ( about May) but still haven't seen them

                    Looks like a case of haemorroids!

                    Great for the garden, wish we had one or two

                      Mine is doing really well , has made a huge den under the bamboo mini grove with all the leaves.
                      Caught him picking up any bits of fallen seeds from the bird feeders.
