    but me garden isnt big enough, and there is not enough hedgehog infrastructure around to support one


    I'm a bit pissed off about that





    If you can't have your own, you could always consider adoption.

    Isn't cow's milk bad for hedgehogs, though? (scroll down, and third sentence on the link).
    Crikey - We didn't know that! It seemed to like milk though, as its tantrums showed.

    Good find BTW

    We had one that used to come at the same time each night and we'd put cat food out for him. Then one day he stopped coming and not seen him since so guess that didn't end happily

    They are lovely things.

    Wonder what we would feed lions with?

    Hedgehogs can be incredibly noisy. Loud crying noise last year and found a young hedgehog with chunk of spikes torn out, stinking cat probably. Not a major injury I daresay and eventually it wandered off.

    I thought you were supposed to give hedgehogs water not milk ?

    You can often see them more as people tend to put out food for them. Great if it is hedgehogs, not so, if it is foxes.

    Get them in my garden occasionally, when i dug the test holes for my extension i came out one morning and there was one stuck down the hole, i lifted him/her out and sent them on their way round the back of the garden shed.

    It helps younger dudes to know that the older dudes are, in fact human, and occasionally silly
