We've had a couple of hedgehogs living under our shed for a couple of years now, looks like they've been busy as we also have 4 tiny babies who every night about 11ish roam round the front garden.

Everynight there they are getting a bit more daring and venturing further. I worry when they don't come out and last week could only see 3 so I went looking for number 4 :oops: Found him just in time before he disappeared down the drain so moved him back with the rest of the family :-P

Number 4 is a bit shy and wouldn't let me take his picture

You ole softie Anne worrying about a hedgehog!! ;)

They are gorgeous little babies.......and I'm really glad you found No.4 before he slipped down the drain!! :D

They supposedly like cat food if you fancy tempting them Anne! :lol:

Great photos!

I was quite close but still had to zoom in. Poor things are probably blinded with the flash :?

They do like cat food Mags, and goats milk :oops:

I do love hedgehogs - well done for looking after your young 'uns Anne - they are the gardeners' best friends after all.

Now - learned something else - is that right Eileen - none in USA?

I love hedgehogs and I think we are so lucky in Britain to have such lovely wildlife. Great photos, thanks for sharing.

Those are great pictures! I love shy little number four. I hand-fed some baby hedgies last summer for a few days before they went to an expert centre and totally fell in love with them.
