mollyripkim Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Had this note from hedgehog rescue PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE can we ask everyone to spread the word and get people to put out shallow dishes of water around their gardens. So much wildlife is struggling in this weather and a simple bowl of water can make the difference between life and death for lots of animals & birds including hedgehogs. Shallow dishes placed around the edge of a garden & under bushes/shrubs will be a life saver. They need to be shallow so the little hoglets can get in them to drink as well and please keep them topped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have a pond, and a shallow pond, (about 4" deep,) they are wildlife ponds, with grass going into the water etc, so figure this will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I already have a water dish for my dog out there, but will pop some more about the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I hadn't really thought about shallow dishes, I have several deeper containers for the dogs, chickens and ducks but am putting out a plate tonight. Hubby is horrified but it will do until I go shopping tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Good idea. I will do that. I have a pond but its not easy to get in for smaller creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
