Drama Drama DRAMA! in the hedgehog house! 
So I thought it was our "smaller" hedgehog that's been napping in the box then final sleeping, So tonight I was watching the smaller hedgehog come through the gap in the gate while another hedgehog was still inside the box asleep! Next minute the bigger hedgehog appears meaning 2 hedgehogs outside eatting and one in the box.
Then the smaller hedgehog tries to go inside the hog house, The hedgehog in the box started making loud noises to get it out finally the smaller hedgehog went out the box, I then waited for this other hedgehog to appear out the box then it came out a really long hedgehog its belly is touching the floor I don't know if its pregnant
it ate some food at this time the "smaller" hedgehog came and see it and ran away (scared of it after the fight in the box) this new hedgehog that is in the box only comes out the box to eat its sleeping in there during night and day!
So this confirms 100% now three hedgehogs in the garden, With this new one taken over the hog box.
I have two more boxes coming next week so its fine but blimey who knew hedgehogs could bring the drama
I read hedgehog breeding season runs until late September, I don't know if we will end up with hoglets or not but fingers crossed!
Don't want to get to ahead of myself could just be a hedgehog who likes the box and took over with winter hibernation in mind.
Sorry for the super long post, Really didn't expect to be seeing so much drama off a set of hedgehogs!
