We have at least 3 in our garden. Noticed them pottering around. We have quite a wild front garden, grass and established shrubs and bushes which is paradise for hedgehogs. So now we've bought a hedgehog house which we're hoping they'll use when hibernation time comes. We leave hedgehog food out, bowl of water and we have a camera so we can see what they get up to. Such a joy.

Oh I'd love a hedgehog - any idea how to attract them to your garden?

In our area we now have most people opening a gateway for these wonderful creatures so they can roam from garden to garden.
I can't believe the difference it has made - hostas still looking great which slugs adore of course and very little damage to other plants .
It's such a simple remedy, give them space, bung out a bit of hedgehog food and water each evening and no need to buy any other remedy. Result !!
