We moved in two weeks ago, and I saw one hedgehog down behind the shed in the abandoned allotment area. He was lovely.
Well, youngest was out by the road waiting for a friend to pick her up last night, and she said she heard the noisiest snuffling snorty noises in the front garden, so went to explore, expecting a badger or something really big, and it was two hedgehogs.
One was still, partly curled up, and making all the snorty noises (VERY loud apparently) and another one was walking around it. In a circle. And had been doing it so long that it had flattened the grass in a circuit.
She watched for a bit and then went back to the road and left them to it, but was totally puzzled.
Now so am I.
So, what on earth are my hedgehogs up to? Has anyone ever heard of them doing barn dancing?
My daughter is generally very reliable - and was adamant that this marching one had walked a trackway all the way around, and that it was the noisiest thing she'd heard for a long time.
Are my hedgehogs normal?
