Apparently disappearing over here but thriving where man introduced it in New Zealand where it literally has no predators and gobbles everything in its path..

Be careful mate cuz I had one, one day I go to get my bike out the fucker had changed the locks.

Call the police and council, turns out the little fucker had a phone contract addressed to the place and a gas bill dating back 10 years. He legally owns it now. Squatters rights.

What a prick

Few years back I had some coming to the garden almost every night, sneaking in under the fence. Adorable. I think it stopped since we got a cat. Is it a coincidence?

You should visit Hedgehog Museum Tom.

Did you include it on your census form, otherwise you could end up in a prickly situation with the law!

I thought this was the original thread I posted on... I've a rescue hedgehog living in my garden as he can’t be released. He only has three legs and can’t really forage for food that well.

So he lives here and occasionally ventures into next doors mature garden. But always comes back.

I have put hog boxes all along the hedgerows that border my land. So far I haven’t attracted any. Well I don’t think I have as I don’t get too close.

Think a nearby badger set has put them off as the Badgers ramble all over my lawn.

Making small holes in your fence and encouraging neighbours to do same is a great way to encourage hedgehogs by creating a 'food corridor'.

Cats and hedgehogs usually keep their distance so most likely a coincidence, but still a sad loss

Hedgehogs are a favourite snack for badgers

I rescued one from a dog attack years ago, and after it recovered, it couldn't be released into the wild because it was blind and def.

Adopted it for two years as a pet. It was such a fun character to have around. And full of personality! Sadly it was eventually by a Mink whilst hibernating! As the mink proliferate in our area, we see fewer and fewer ground nesting birds and Hedgehogs.

Should the badgers be culled ?

What is your reasoning for asking? To protect hedgehog population??

No there should just be investment in protecting our own wildlife. A reintroduction program and repopulating the declining numbers, unfortunately mist are killed by traffic, but there’s untold numbers down to Slug pellets, and strimming habitat.

Part of the natural ego system here so nature should have a way of read dressing that situation without man getting Involved.

Yes Mink are a voracious predator and are not part of our natural ego system here so should either be heavily culled or some say eradicated totally here not so visible to see as the grey squirrel but their numbers must be high we would be a lot better off without them that's for sure.
