Lovely video clips Amanda, I am so envious of forum members who have  Visiting their gardens. Keep up the great work Amanda as it worth it.  Me too Kevin - I would love to have too. P.S. Just read your posting back to Kevin Paul - I can't do that though as there's no access at all to our back garden - the fences all have concrete bases & we're too old now to try & drill a hole in them whatever. As for the front garden, no hidden spaces to put any food out & hundreds of cats round here who are vicious with birds (who have at least a chance of flying away.

No worries Paul, it’s good to read the info. I am feeding the babies with the purina as it is a bit smaller, I do have the Tesco kitten food too. It is quite mild here at the minute, 12 degree’s and they are in the garden feeding / drinking throughout the night. They are like yoyo’s feeding box, hedgehog house, feeding box, hedgehog house. I’ve not heard from the rescue centre, it took a day or so last year.

Purina is good quality food Amanda, I used to feed mine Purina one turkey ones because thats what I fed my own cats. Was getting to stage of the hedgehogs eating it faster than my cats though  so I have the tesco kitten for the hogs now and only the hogs. I do put a big plate of mixed biscuits out for the stray cats though and some cat meat, I have two that come and eat in the garden, I can't see them hungry so they get fed aswell. Diane, that's a shame, No access to my back either which is probably best due to the big pond etc so all my hog stuff is in the front garden. |

My babies! They all by the feeding house, having a drink. I think I have at least 6 hedgehogs altogether. I contacted 2 rescue places, they said to leave them while it is mild, and that they are eating, drinking and have shelter. They will take them if they don’t reach 450-500g before it gets cold  |

Evening all.... I hope you are all well and keeping safe? Just a quick update..... it is like Piccadilly station in the garden with lots of hedgehogs using the feeding house. I have 3 out of 4 houses occupied, one house, the last one I built, has 2 occupants in it. All the occupants are feeding well as it is still mild, although we are expecting a bit of snow after Christmas. I have hedgehogs coming from Nextdoors garden too....it’s so lovely to see 🦔 I hope you are all able to enjoy Christmas.....and let’s hope 2021 is sooooo much better than this year xx   |

Daytime visits etc. Hi Paul, I have 2 roosters in the boxes, a great tit and a blue tit. I have 2 empty boxes. I have lots of goldfinches in the garden and I even saw a female blackcap the other day. I used to have a pair that came in the garden a few years ago, so it was nice to see one. I have some fieldfares eating the red berries on the trees. The redwings should be about soon! How about you? |
