Hi Judith and Nic,
Indeed, I do wonder if it’s house building that may be causing our little spikey friends to relocate to nice hedgehog friendly gardens! Since we had a housing development start in our village, the little lads and lasses have been piling in – we can’t provide enough food (!) – sometimes we fill the bowls twice a night, so I wonder if we have more than the four we see regularly? We love spotting them all, plus the newcomers – they are so funny!
Judith, lucky you having multiple little friends, I can’t believe how fortunate you are to see yours at 7pm, mine have started arriving later now that the nights are darker, not sure why? Could be the rain too I guess? So, we’ve started staying up later for a glimpse.
However, since the hoglets arrived, our neighbours are getting super interested, to the point that they let us put a hedgehog house under one of their hedges and it’s already occupied by a huge hedgehog that we think is fattening up for hibernation ;0)
Have a great day both!
