      Just back from collecting 2 more hedgehogs from the RSPCA. The 2 we had last year we did catch on the trail camera a couple of times and they do leave their droppings in various places. Good to be able to help relocate the next 2 hedgehogs. Will we ever see youngsters?

        We have had 4 this week, two adults and two young, no trail camera but a phone pic through the conservatory window at 10pm was all I could manage so I had to lighten it a bit.

          Brought the trail camera card in yesterday which had been set up to show the boxes that the hedgehogs were in. NOTHING!!!! Can't understand how the camera didn't pick them up when they left. We know that there is a short time lapse before the camera starts but the hogs must have been really quick. However what we did pick up were the foxes which were very nervous around the area. We had been given cat food by the RSPCA to put out for a few days for the hogs. Yes you know the story. The cats (3 different ones and we don't have cats) all came to the feast. We think that the foxes could smell the cats and this was making them nervous.
          Just hope that the hogs have found somewhere to go and find food.
