We were watching our current garden hedgehog last night-have had to set up a feeder to prevent the local cats eating the food (pesky blighters) consisting of a large plastic crate with lid, hole cut in one end, food put at other end-hog can get in but cats cant, and it keeps the food dry if he doesn't eat it all. Took him a day or two to get used to it but now he just ambles in, crunches away and ambles off. Lovely!
We feed just about everything that turns up and at this time of year my garden is like wild kingdom. The little perishers seem to have set meal times and odd as it may seem. There is no evidence of mortality from different species conflicting for food. My thinking is that if it turns up and is hungry it gets a helping of something useful. Having said this the birds will on occasion chomp on stuff I put out for the hedgehog and the stray cats will have a go at the bird food.
As I read my own post I am quite mindful of the fact that I read like the old woman who swallowed a fly.............
