Dear Jan-Marie,
I live in a very small rural village in Kent, and have lived here for 22 years. We have a large mature well tended garden and next door is an even larger one with a lot of trees and shrubs and is bounded on two sides by roads. I have seen the hedgehogs going under the fence behind where I have placed my hedgehog house and the feeding station and there are gaps under the fence with our opposite neighbours.
I have got some very interesting video clips, including hedgehogs collecting leaves to add to the straw I have placed in the hedgehog house. Last week I made a small hedgehog house that fits inside a plastic lidded crate and one of the hogs spent several nights taking the straw out of it and into the larger hedgehog house. There is also a lot of traffic into and out of the larger hedgehog house and I know that there have been at least 4 hogs sleeping in it during the day. I also have clips of larger hogs ‘bullying’ smaller ones, and wondered if they target hogs that they did not raise.
