Reds do the same as we have quite a few here as well as greys particularly whee mixed and conifer blocks meet. Agree as well with jan Feb as good times for thining greys, even had a few nests with half grown kits in them during Feb. Not got any greys here only the native reds didn’t realise you were talking about a introduced pest anyway back to hedgehogs 🦔😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have badgers in the area and all I find is hedgehog slippers (skin & spines left behind). Love your humour. I thought humour was in decline. Thank you. Made me laugh.
