Topic: How do I get a hedgehog??

[kaz]

Having heard how marvellous hedgehogs are at eating slugs - how do I actually get one to come to either my garden or my allotment??

No idea, but if you find black droppings about 1cm in diameter and about2 to 3 cms long on your soil, you already have them.

Hi Kaz
I started by putting out the dogs leftovers on the front lawn about dusk every evening, and eventually these two little visitors used to call every evening for their supper!!  ;D

oops- photo to follow when I've adjusted the size!!  ::)

Are they cute or are they cute Di?I have them too.Dog food yes this does encourage them if they are about.

Guess we are very lucky BB !!
Don't you just want to cuddle the little cuties ??  ;)  ::
Hahaha!!  ;D

Hmmm, we've had some nysterious black droppings, I'll spare you the photo, and we do occasionally get hedgehogs in the garden.

2 + 2 = 22!

As a slug hoover he's a bit of a failure though, but maybe they're breeding faster than he can eat! They're currently going after my courgettes in the greenhouse.

Hi all this is my first post on here (I'm a refugee from the BBC boards),  I'd love a hedgehog, I have seen one in the garden but that's all.  I can't put out cat food or the cats will eat it and I have tried hedgie food but no takers.  I know there are some locally as I have seen them - any more ideas?  I have some nice juicy slugs for them.....

a nice wood pile for them to hide in? (Which could also be a home for frogs and ground beetles - all slug munchers.)
