Hedgehogs
MikeFellows - 29/4/10 at 02:38 PM

Cleaning the garage out today, I had some old dust sheets in the back of the garage on the floor. picked them up and a family of hedgehogs have fallen out. they must have gotten in there when the door was left open (or 1 of them did, and gave birth to the others). i put everything back and they seem happy. Ive put some dog food out and some water.

so if anyone knows about hedgehogs, when can I evict them?

Did you feel a prick?

Sorry.

Why don't they just learn to share the hedge?

Yep, good in the garden for slugs and horrible little gits then a frog in the greenhouse to get rid of all the greenfly and other pests....

already checked, they dont go on humans or dogs (or i would have evicted straight away)


edit: the g/f has ordered a hedgehog house for the garden, we will move them there in the next few weeks. like someone said, they are good for the garden.

The worms will be donning their tin hats and taking up arms as we type...

the slugs will be more annoyed than a dinner lady in birmingham...

Good on yer Mike for looking after them!

Apparently, after years of getting ran over by cars the modern day Hedgehog has evolved, and they now know to aim for between the headlights to avoid the tyres.

You don't keep a Reliant Robin in your garage do you?

Hedgehog fleas stay on hedgehogs because they are specialist and are only there to keep the hedgehog's skin clean. Think about it, when did you last see a hedgehog lick its-self clean.
