Player BARTEMAEUS 10
Player #96919, I have hedgehogs in my garden.
People, please make your garden "hog" friendly. Leave gaps between gardens so they can wander safely.
If you know you have hogs, provide winter hibernation "bedrooms" and food,(not fish based and definitely not bread and milk) I buy hedgehog food from the pet shop.
Please check bonfire wood piles before you light them.
If you see a hedgehog out in daylight, it needs help. Contact the RSPCA (or similar!)

Player Elf Counsel, hedgehogs are dwindling in numbers and are under threat of disappearing from our environment. It's a shame cos they are cute harmless creatures and if seen wandering near roads and dangerous places then please take them and put them in a place to roam in safety

Saved one last summer swimming in circles in my pool. Thought it was just a large leaf at first, rehoused it at a local park.

Player BARTEMAEUS 10,
I replaced my boundary fence last year and created "hog" holes. At first no hedgehogs appeared, but I did get a badger in the garden.
Since the end of winter hedgehogs have started to visit, I tried hedgehog food but they walked straight past and ignored it! They seem to prefer mealworms and sometimes the peanuts left for the badger.
Leaving fresh water for them is also a good idea.

as a kid in an English village we left wheatabix out for them, one morning we found a baby lying on top of the wheatabix with all four legs going like a swimmer out of water. we set him back on the ground a never left whole wheatabix out, only broken bits.

hedgehogs are not allowed in CA, along with ferrets, gerbils and other animals. Do people own black market ones, yes. However, they are illegal

Player #96919, indigenous of?
Player BARTEMAEUS 10
Player #3532789, I'm so pleased for you, I haven't seen hoglets since I was a child but I did move to Australia, (so, no hedgehogs, but some pretty awesome animals)
I've only just moved to a badger free location (in Shropshire) so I'm hopeful for next year.
