Re: Hedgehogs
Today I have discovered my newly built Hog House has a resident!
I was out in the garden and thought I'd check the inside of the hog house so I carefully lifted the lid. All the hay had been moved to one end and the other end had been used as a toilet!
Not realising there was a hog in there I started spreading the hay out again (after cleaning up the poo) and suddenly I could feel heat through the hay. A quick peek and there he/she was, curled up in a ball, fast asleep. I swiftly shut the lid and walked away, leaving it to sleep.
Over the last week I've become convinced there are 2 hogs out there. I am seeing 2 distinct types of poo. I have been seeing a hog feeding on the food I leave out several times a night but sometimes it appears bigger than others. My thinking is there's probably an adult, possibly the mum, and maybe the other is one of this year's hoglets.
The bigger one probably already has a home somewhere as I'm sure the one in my hog house is the smaller one.
I'm chuffed
