Hungry Hedgehog

Post by 22-250jock » 04 Aug 2013, 21:10

the dogs just found this little fella in the garden, so put a bit of dog food and water out for him/her and watched through the spotter,
guess it was a little hungry.

sorry about the shaking, didn't have anything to rest on :oops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kea9lJjU ... e=youtu.be

cheers jock

Fascinating to watch them ! We've just had a 7m sliding door/window system (like bifold doors) fitted in our living room overlooking our terrace - we can sit here & watch all sorts going on out side now :thumbup:

At least you're not feeding them bread and milk, as was commonly done back in the old uneducated days.

I had a lone hedgehog in the garden a few weeks back (previous years there have been up to half a dozen of them) anyway I decided to feed him some cat food, so put it out on a dish alongside some water and left him to it.
The following morning the dish was spotlessly clean but six inches behind it was the biggest pile of hedgehog poo you've ever seen, in one end out of the other.
Effluent in many languages.
