My two hedgehogs definitely ar sleeping now. I gave them some minced meat with added eggshell and conveyance food but stooped that because it will spoil. I made a kind of bird feeder out of a plastic bottle filled with dry cat biscuits and a small bowl bend. On top of the food which is also corvered I put a little sachet you will find in some of human foods, to keep the moist out. To make sure the food won’t get damp. But make sure it can’t go through the bottles neck because it’s no food! So if they will come out there is some food. Also I have a feeding station made out of a bucket which I made a door into and some zig zag stone corridor in front. Of course you need to put something heavy on the bucket so cats can shove it to the side. In front of the corridor I put some dried hortensia flowers so I can see if somebody had gone in. ๐Ÿ˜‰

And please don’t check on them. You just have to wait until spring when you clean the house to see if they are in there, just like we have too. ๐Ÿ˜‰
