Towards the end of last year I built a Hedgehog Feeding station as cats and other animals were eating the food I put out for the hedgehogs. I made it out of a large transparent plastic storage box with a 10cm x 10cm hole (just large enough for hedgehogs but too small for other animals) and to help see if any one was inside I added a small solar light to the lid.
It was largely unused as I made it around the time hedgehogs were going into hibernation but since we've had a bit of spring I've noticed the food does get eaten and I was beginning to notice more and more hedgehog poo around.
Last night I finally heard and saw the hedgehogs. One large and one smaller. I say heard because from all the snuffling they were either checking each other out or engaging in some coitus as Sheldon Cooper would say.
I've checked the feeding station today and just to confirm that they are indeed using it one of them decided to use the water bowl as a lavatory. I just wish they'd learn how to flush.
