That’s great that they are still coming. Still no sign of Rudey, so I guess he has hibernated. It is getting milder again so hopefully he will return too.

My hoggies haven't been to feed for 3 nights now, quite surprised as its been mild. Is feels horrible when they don’t turn up doesn’t it. I was half expecting to see Rudey as it’s been so mild, but he hasn’t appeared. I’m just getting mice taking advantage!

I still have two coming every night, Both weight over 500g around 550g average. Its honestly not been that cold here so far this year, Maybe a night or two over the past 8 weeks where its got below 0 a little never enough to freeze the water or anything. I have one hibernating in one of my hog boxes though, Since late December she was pretty large weighting 910g.

It would be nice, but I haven’t seen hedgehogs in the garden until about September time each year. Maybe it will be different with having hedgehog houses It would be lovely if they had babies in all our gardens hog houses

Been to my local range store and saw they stock Brambles hedgehog biscuits and like a meaty food for hogs so got some for them to try.

Have you cleaned your hedgehog house out yet? I have left mine as they were from last year. I don’t know when to do it

I gave them a clean and put fresh bedding in last November, but none hibernated with me. If there are no hogs in Amanda then I would give them a spring clean, they will be soon out of hibernation and visiting gardens regularly again.
