Dead hedgehogs!

Post by Mallard »

We've found two on the allotments this week, not fully grown ones, I hope it's not slug pellets )gr:
The hedgehog house I made early this year has been used, but I've not seen the adults recently.

That's so sad to see dead Hedgehogs. There aren't many left! {cry}
They are becoming so rare. I can't remember the last time I saw one in our garden.

Do some of the other allotment holders use slug pellets, Mallard?

In some ways if it is that, then at least you know and can possibly do something about it, if its not, then I havent a clue what it could be, but I hope you find the answer and soon.
