Dh has seen a hedgehog in our garden while he’s been locking up before bed lately.  Tonight, Flopsy stayed up later than usual and the hedgehog appeared so Dh told her to come and look.  He was snuffling around quite happily (the hedgehog, that is…not Dh!).   Flopsy has just asked me to say “Tell them that hedgehogs eat raisins and weetabix and insects and slugs…that’s all”.  We found out that information at the British Hedgehog Preservation Society website which we looked up when Flopsy asked what they eat and what they do.  Well, what the website actually says is what they eat naturally, and what people can put out for hedgehogs to eat.   They also say that it’s not ‘our’ hedgehog as hedgehogs often like visiting lots of different gardens.   Flopsy’s now put out a plate of broken up weetabix and raisins but it hasn’t reappeared yet.  She’s named it Maddie and wants to make a home for it to hibernate in over the winter.
