One of my Hedgehog Houses has a resident !!!

Post by Richard »

I am absolutely cock-a-hoop.

I went around my various DIY Wildlife Houses this morning, opened the lid of the Hoggy House under the Laurel and thought there was a lot more leaves and bits in there than last time.

I gently lifted the top leaves expecting a Rat to leap out and there was a Hedgehog fast asleep.

They're not supposed to hibernate til November so unsure if it's just an overnighter, but very packed in and the doorway blocked off.

So pleased, I've made a few things and as there are so many more natural places for wildlife around thought it was just one of those nice exercises.

Hope he/she stays Richard. We had a hedgehog on the yard last night, but no sign of it in the garden this morning. My neighbour has a very large pampas grass in her garden, which has been home to a mum and babies. We now have a pampas grass in our front garden, but don't think it will be big enough yet to be a nesting place.
