The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I haven't seen a hedgie in my garden for years now but last night when I let the hounds out for their last wee, Cyrus was barking at something, went to check and there's a hedgehog snuffling along in the borders I am delighted, but slightly worried that he should be hibernating by now, hopefully he will find the cosy pile of leaves under the log pile.

Grandmashazzie Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Gosh DM now you mention it I haven't seen one for ages either.Are the numbers declining? It wasn't too long ago that you would see lots of little flattened hedgehogs as you drive along I haven't seen too many of them either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yes, I think they're endangered. Eggers would be able to confirm/deny that as she fosters rescued hedgies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Oooh I do love hedgehogs. I haven't seen one in our garden for a long time but I did see a big one when we were on holiday in Cornwall Dogmother, I hope your one hibernates in your leaf pile.

Bramble Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I love hedgies! I had two in the garden at my old house, but they've yet to appear where I am now (new house, new estate so net hedgepig friendly ... yet) Did help friends make a nice warm house for their hedgie t'other day though, they know they have a hedgie in the garden and are quite keen to encourage him!
