Meant to ask last year, but is it possible to ‘overfeed‘ hedgehogs?
We have loads, but some come to have a quick ‘chomp’ for a couple of minutes and move on, but others come and settle their backsides and chomp away for 30/40 minutes.
Another question, why do some, after a good feed slowly amble off, while others hike their skirts up and disappear at a rate of knots?
Thought it might be the cats or other garden visitors, but they seem totally unbothered by their nocturnal associates?
