What have you uploaded your video to Karen? Youtube? If not you have to upload it to youtube then the little black icon next to where you add picture on here you add the link to your video. I'll take a printscreen now and show you.

Yeah Karen, You could always upload the video to your twitter then copy and paste the link to the twitter video and just paste it in a reply (don't need to do it via the icon) and the video will show up to watch. Youtube and Twitter would be your easy options.

Giving it a go Paul. I have moved the trail cam to hopefully pick up who napped in the other hog house, I know I have two hogs visiting at the moment, they had a fracas in the hedgehog cafe last night so it could of been the big one I call gramps, unless Lola is flitting between them both they are so fascinating to watch it is quite addictive as I think you and Amanda will agree!

It certainly is addictive Karen, I kept looking at my phone during the night to see if a hedgehog had been in the house. I was a bit tired at work today I didn’t get a visit last night, so that is 2 nights on the trot I haven’t seen a hedgehog. I have put one of the houses I made outside this evening with food only in it. A cat ate all the food last night. Matt, here is a photo of inside. I have only painted the ‘hallway’. I wasn’t sure what to do about the other bit, so left it untreated. I have used the Cuprinol shade. It was paint left over from the bird boxes This is how I have set it up with for tonight. I have 2 bowls inside, one with cat foot and one with spike food and a bowl of water outside.

Brilliant box Amanda! Its a full house in our 4 hog boxes tonight, Each box as a hog inside. Rainy day / night here in Liverpool so don't blame them! Only have cameras in 2 of my hog boxes due to two far away from a telly plus I really don't have the space with all my camera bird boxes Hog box 1 This is the new little hoglet he's been sleeping over for few nights now he looks bigger on the camera but as you'll seen in pictures he is tiny.Hog box 2 This one is an adult hog, Its the smallest of our adults, Been sleeping in box for about 2 weeks now. I imagine the two boxes with no camera be same scenes a sleeping hog no fighting in any of the boxes now we have 7 hogs visiting but only 3 or 4 sleep in the boxes, 2 being regular sleepers all day and 2 being nappers during the evening.

Paul do your hogs tend to keep to the same boxes, just wondering, little lola has been sleeping in one but the other hog house has had one in but I cant pick that area as it is other side of the garden, is it more likely a different hog, lola had a long nap last night just shy of two hours

Thanks Amanda - really good job on the box! Nothing for me over the last two nights apart from slugs and a snail! I'm surprised they set off the motion sensor to be honest, but they do:

One of my hogs swap between 2 boxes Karen, The others just settle for what they know. My trail camera came by the way, Tested it out very impressed with the daytime pictures and videos for under £30!! I noticed Amazon have it down to £29 now with free delivery aswell. I'll be putting it out and testing it tonight with the hogs, Hopefully with the spotlights in garden it stays colour So far I have taken 4 pictures and 5 videos of 3 mins (had it set up in garden by the bird bath) and the battery hasn't moved am using Duracell plus be good see how long it lasts so far so good very impressed for the price! I'll get loads of use out of nesting season by my mealworm feeder aswell win win!

Awesome Paul, yes it is a great little camera for the price, I caught a Robin at the bird bath at like 5.45am. The start up noise gets on my nerves though

I have 2 hedgehogs There was lots of activity last night, even 2 naps in the box Guess what is here now I’ve not see one this early in the evening. I think I have a tenant 🦔 This video was from last night, the first sleep in the house

They aren't big Amanda, Should fit in a hog house no problem. Looks like just before 4am is a popular time in the garden, This picture of the trail catches 3 larger hogs 2 by the dish and one just coming into shot. The trail was full night mode by then when we go to bed we switch the lights off under the porch so night mode for the trail as its pitch black. Here's some pictures of one of the hoglet's earlier in the night when the spotlights was on. Overall very impressed with the trail camera quality for under £30, Shows you don't need to spend large ££ on trails to get decent pictures / videos. Here's a picture of the hog that I believe is "coming into the shot" on the first picture its head looks abit spiked up like this one caught earlier in the night, The pictures above our screenshots from the videos recorded, This one is a picture from the camera it as the temp on etc.

Good luck.....I hope it is good, can you view the footage from your computer / phone?Are they big, would one fit in a hog house? Totally missed this part of the question earlier Amanda, Its a trail camera so it runs on 8 AA batteries and as an SD card (up to 32GB) you can select if you want it take pics or videos or both. It only records when there is movement in the camera sensor, You can remove the SD card and view any recordings on your computer, You can also buy something that you connect to charge port on your ipad or iphone and it will import SD pics and footage to the phone from the SD card. These cameras perfect for outdoors when you dont want wires or anything because it only records when movement happens, You already have cameras set up very successful so I don't think you'll need one personally.

More great pics, everyone! Quick question for those with the trail cams. Do you get many false movement positives? I've found this something of an issue when using a motion sensor outside of a box - especially with plants/leaves in the background, and a bit of wind.
