We loved hearing about hedgehogs today. It was a great presentation from Jo & Terry from Prickle Lodge Hedgehog Rescue. They go to amazing efforts washing and treating sick hedgehogs back to health. I am still imagining Jo spending over an hour a day watching hedgehog CCTV to spot whether the animals are getting better or worse.
To support hedgehogs ~ DO
*Put out meat based kitten kibble every day against boundaries (ideally under cover)
*Provide water in shallow heavy container or shallow pond with access ramps
* Leave areas of your garden wilder or leave logs piles - hedgehogs love caterpillars and beetles
* use closed compost bins
To protect hedgehogs ~ DON’T
* Use a strimmer, but if you must check for sleeping hedgehogs first
* Make bonfires or if you do build them and light them straight away.
