Animals in your garden

[posiepurrs]

Not a great photo since I was inside and used my phone. This female coyote has been coming to my yard to steal apples from my tree. I am keeping the apples picked up since I don't want to become a food source. I knew they were around but until recently I had never seen one.

Still get 3 hedgehogs come to feed at the feeding station.

Can just about see a hedgehog in the feeding station

Didn't think that i would get the hedgehogs last night, but when i got up this morning at 5am some of the food had gone. But i don't know if they will tonight because it's turned colder.

They don't, they eat slugs, snails and insects. They're endangered species and I'm feeding them dried puppy food and put out some water. I've got 3 that come and I've built them nests to hibernate in.

They're very shy.

I don’t think that’s a good idea I’ve been in your shoes and they got nasty once they bred and inbred so much I had to shoot them.

Hedgehogs are found in parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, and have been introduced in New Zealand. I rather doubt if they are found in the USA.
Logan, you are fortunate to have the little spiny critters, and thank you for helping out an endangered species. Hope you have lots of little hedgehogs eating your puppy food and being cute!

I've just checked and you're right @marlingardener, there are no hedgehogs in America.

I had one for a pet about 60 years ago. I wonder if an inbred hedgehog is as bad as an inbred squirrel? Just wondering................

[Logan]

Thank you Marlingardener.

Had the hedgehogs come last night, it's turned very cold and i didn't expect them out.

This isn't in my garden but i hope that they'll have hoglets next spring.
