One for all the hedgie fans!

( Sorry I'm well and truly hooked now!! )

These lovely critters used to call for supper, to fatten up for winter hibernation!!

Doris....these were all taken with normal 35mm camera zoom lens, then scanned into Tim's recommended hpphoto website!!  get those old photo albums out and have a go!!   ;D

Definitely no regrets and I am dead chuffed that others have managed to get their photos up and running.
As for supporting France, we have operated a total embargo on French goods etc since they exploded their disgusting nuclear device in the Southern hemisphere some years back.
Wish we had hedgehogs. Only seen 1 and 2 babies in 8 years and very little evidence of their hidden existence. No cows peeping over the fence either, though on one of my evening walks one leant over the hedge and coughed delicately in my ear. Believe me in the dark on a very lonely and empty lane that is more than a little worrying.
Nice pics though.

Well.... Eric.......it's all down to you and Tim!!

One mild, but still snow covered December day, I had to rescue a very small hedgie wandering around the front garden!! It weighed 350gms, and apparently to hibernate over winter they need to fatten up to at least 600gms, so kept it in a box in garage, supper of chicken and dog food for several weeks ,then released a lovely plump hedgie back into the wild!!

Only drawback to the cows,sheep and horses over garden wall is they munch absolutely anything and everything!!!! Even a very, very prickly Maigold ? rose-vicious thorns!!!

Magpie, unfortunately I do not have a scanner :'( which is a shame, but I wouldn't use it enough, I shall look through my disks and see what I have! DP

aw cute!I have a soft spot for hedgepigs. I rescued several during one bad winter - poor things had been disturbed but one had its head stuck in a jamjar!
Anyhoo,moved them into my cupboard under the stairs to recuperate. Every night, round about bedtime, they would come out looking for tucker. Having fed them, i went to bed leaving them to romp all night. As I had sanded floorboards down, I could hear them tearing about the kitchen in mad races with their corny little feet having hedgepig raves. Terrible, dreadful fleas though.
