Good evening, Annig,
Cats, and rats ..I find feeding hedgehogs, attracts a lot of wildlife to the garden, not necessarily a ‘bad thing’..unless it’s rats
We have large gardens surrounding our house and we are adjacent to a bowling green and horse paddocks and stables…in short..hedgehog heaven.
But in recent years we have had a bit of a ‘rat problem’ …don’t get me wrong, every species deserves its corner/niche.
And watching them in the garden, robbing the bird feeders, their ‘acrobatics ‘ are amusing (and at times amazing) but when their population starts to ‘get out of hand’…then it’s a problem for both the animal and human populations.
Enter the ‘feral cat’ Likes hedgehog food, but likes rat even better, doesn’t bother the hogs…most seem afraid of them.
Balance restored….not the bank balance, unfortunately…..its amazing how both feral cats and hogs decline the ‘cheap end’ of cat and dog food😁
