This little guy caught my eye this morning as he was still out at 7:30am and didn't curl up on my approach!
The nights are so short now and with still so little rain, natural food is not very abundant, that our nocturnal Hedgehogs are struggling to find enough food.
You can help your Hedgehogs at this tough time in a number of ways, but a quick fix would be to provide some food for them. Vine House Farm do an excellent Hedgehog Food which my Hedgehogs love and it also doesn't attract the local moggies.
For more ideas on how to help Hedgehogs, or to find out how you can become a local Hedgehog Champion, check out Hedgehog Street. If you want to help trial a new survey method for these wonderful creatures, then the Mammal Society would love to hear from you!
