Happy to see him but……….

And here right on cue is Cedric......☺️

Brilliant Shinamae!
I will study that properly tomorrow.
My cat is no bother, but my dog is a menace. She wouldn't hurt a fly but is very territorial and barks (a lot) at any visitors to the garden.

If you make a station I can more or less guarantee your hog will love feeding from it, also it protects the food from the elements and the cats!! Although I have a pond I don’t want the hedgehog Drinking from that (might fall in and not be able to get out! )so always leave a bowl of fresh water just outside the feeding station...

Yes made it myself actually that is a new box I bought today from Wilkinsons £4, got my son to cut a hole out put tape around it so there are no sharp edges and then just put the bricks around, gives me a great deal of pleasure, if I see him tonight I will try and get a photo and put on here ???

I love your feeding station! Did you make it yourself? There’s a cat visits our garden and we have had to find ways to keep her off the hedgehog food. We have a resident hedgehog, haven’t seen him recently but they do sometimes come out for food in winter.

Yarddoes need a bit of a tidy up!! ?

Simple but effective feeding station for hedgehog, the way the bricks are arranged the cats cannot get in....

I do not see him in the day it is only late at night and like I say I have read on hog forums to keep food out because sometimes they will pop out to have some food:actually nothing should surprise us this year really should it?...??????? I do have a small wildlife garden and also have a pond so I’m looking forward to some frogs in the spring, simple pleasures ☺️

There are "Tiggywinkle" hospitals for wildlife dotted around. It's a free service and they will take in hedgehogs. There'll be a phone number if you're concerned about anything.

Cross post!

Hello Shinamae
How lovely that you have a resident Hog.
I'd Google hedgehog rescue, I know that we have a centre near us, they should have lots of advice.

There are assorted Hedgehog 'hospitals', many on Twitter. Post a question to them.
What I've learnt from them (I live in a block of flats, so unlikely to use this info) is
No hedgehog should be out in the day unless it's ill.
A small hedgehog may be too light to hibernate
If you find a poorly hedgehog, take it to a specialist immediately or a local vet. (Don't put it in your garage)
