It's difficult, isn't it? If Hedgie notices the change in the environment, it might make him/her nervous. Maybe after any hoglets have flown the nest, so to speak? Anyway, lovely to see. Thanks.

I am over the moon! I was right, I have just managed to see hedgie leaving his house! I was covering up some plants and could hear some muffled sounds, so I finished fleecing and stood in the kitchen with all lights off and waited. At 18.45hrs I caught a glimpse of something in between the blueberry pots, in front of the nest. A moment later hedgie was in his/her feeding station!
I am ridiculously excited...looks like the hop gets a reprieve.
Hedgie comes first! 🦔

I think I would burst with happiness if that were to happen! Hoglets! 🦔🦔🦔

Saw this beauty today. Saw a brimstone too, but he was too busy patrolling his territory to stop and have his picture taken

That’s lovely to see. We have them occasionally here. Should have more really given the amount of nettles around the place!

Introducing my prickly friend who lives in the old plastic kitchen compost caddy! Its Mr or Mrs Hedgie! 🦔

[Snoop Puss]

Fabulous. I'm grinning away just seeing the photos. Must have been fantastic for you.

[Nicos]

Peanut!….you’ve got me grinning here too
Thanks for sharing.
Precious times for sure x

[Peanut]

Nicos Snoop Puss Thanks both! I was so glad he came out whilst it was still just light enough to grab some, albeit not the clearest, pics! I saw him feeding again after 19.00hrs and about midnight. He's definitely a hungry hedgie after his winter snooze, unless there is more than one... 🦔 🦔 🦔

[Nicos]

More than one????…now that would be the icing on the cake ( babies being the ‘cherry’)
Lets hope it is more than one then!
So chuffed for you

Have you thought of getting hold of a night motion camera?

[Peanut]

I used to have one but it developed a fault so I returned it and I haven't decided if I want to get another as the last one mostly caught muntjacs (fence now deer proofed) and way too many cats which really p**'d me off!

I have to say, I am very disappointed with Hedgie's personel hygiene. Not only does he poo inside his feeding station, but he has also poo'd in his water bowl! Dirty Hedgie! 🦔🦔

I was just reading they eat their own poop,has nutrients in it
