Hedgehogs! I’m a grandma!!!

Yesterday and the day before we saw 2 babies
We first saw a big one a couple of months ago, since then we’ve thought it has made itself comfy under the piggy hutch
Tonight...... we have 4 !!!!!
@luciusmaximus please give me any tips or advice these things are just too cute and roaming around my decking like they own the place!
I’ve put water and cat biscuits out ( hope that’s ok? ) they’ve got copious amounts of hay and ivy/ dead leaves that they’ve dragged under said piggy hutch.
What else should I do? Please help in advance x

 

Any other hog lovers? Obviously I’m not directing this to @luciusmaximus directly.
All advice is welcomed

 

Not even joking! These babas are everywhere, I think we counted 5! Pic is me being nibbled
Please excuse my choice of evening wear and slippers

They are so cute! It's too bad our climate is too cold for them

My apologies @Loki I've just seen this. I've been on holiday and then catching up for a week on things. Your babies look so cute . Are they still around? Difficult to be precise from the pics but they look to be around 4 -6 weeks old. In two of the pics the baby looks slightly elongated, like a mini rugby ball ?? This is usually means an under weight / dehydrated hog, which is often linked to worm burden. Has there been any sign of mum ? It's quite common for hogs to have late babies and then once mum has weaned them she disappear to hibernate leaving the babies to fend for themselves. If they are still around they will need all the help they can get.
