The poo is black and sometimes it's about 1 inch wide and 2inches long. But sometimes it's more runny then it's longer and thin. Just put down some cat food,or you can buy hedgehog food, don't put milk down just water. Have you got a gap under your gate? Some people say they can climb.

If you google hedgehog poo, it will come up with pictures of it.

I don't have a gate at the end of the garden, just a wall of dust and a metal spring bed frame which I need to hide behind my compost bin. Don't think I have seen anything like that in my garden. Somehow, I think we are too urbanised.

Yes, I must do that. I google everything. Thank you, Logan!

Crumbs! I know it sounds bad! Wonder if anybody can take a pic of hedgehog poos and upload them here. To tell the truth, I don't think I have hedgehogs living here. @Zenji what food do you prepare for them please? I will fast and bought some! LOL!

Just dried cat food like Iams chicken though not fish and as Logan says fresh water near by if hedgehogs are about they will come regular when they know it’s there .

Will have a look. Where can I buy them cheaply please?

 

[Zenj]

Aldi, Wilco some supermarkets do there own brand ,and offers on a regular basis ,When I see a offer I usually buy 4 or 5 packs at a time.

Thank you for the tip, zenji. Supermarket own brands are usually cheapest. I will keep an eye out. I hope I am not inviting rodents. LOL!

On the programmes to watch thread, we were talking about vegetarianism. My brother went vegetarian in 1969, it was because of how they slaughtered animals, even fish. When i was little i wouldn't go in the butchers with my mom because i didn't like the smell, but i still had it with my meals.I couldn't keep chickens to eat, couldn't kill them.

As long as you can get your proteins, it's OK to be vegan. As we get older, we cut down on meats. But I love meats .. one of my pleasures in life! I've found vegan diet a bit restrictive, but everyone to his own. Meats have their own distinctive flavours.

Same here. I hate going to fish markets - wet and smelly. When I looked at the wooden chopping boards, full of historic horrible grime, I have never liked the idea of using a chopping board, I just use my plates to cut everything on.

We were a family of 9 and we kept hens, pigs, cows and had fields and it's hard to feed that many people with vegetables. It's our way of life!

 

[Logan]

It wasn't the fish i can't remember any. It was the red meat.
Have to use different chopping boards for meat and vegetables, even after washing them.
I haven't cut down on meat,i just don't eat a lot of sausages and bacon.

Just made a new thread about Christmas baking.

Hi all, hope all well. Spring seems so close but so far away, at least the snow melted now but I can see rain clouds in the distance, to wet to do much in the garden but for venturing to the GH.

Hedgehog feeding stations are also ideal to keep the foxes and cats away from the biscuits. Have a look on youtube, plenty of tutorials folks.
