This is our hedgehog, Dh got the pic. off the video which we can't see how to post. This is how our feeding station looks.
2 Bricks with a roof tile as a roof. It's to keep the cats off it and during day light, large birds!
We have the water dish in the opening and the food behind. Cats can't reach it without getting their feet wet and they don't like it so keep out, but the hedgehog wades through the water!
We are continuing to put out food and the trail camera is focused on it. Hopefully the 'draenog' Welsh for hedgehog will be back. The hedgehog 'high way' under our fence has been used so he is around.
Over the years we've had three at once, so lovely to see them run, their little legs go like the 'clappers.'

Such an enjoyable post, lovely to see the hedgehog.
All the best Jan
Wow, I've never seen a hedgehog in real life, in fact I think the only ones I've ever seen are in children's story books. It must be a lot of fun watching him, but do they destroy gardens? Maybe you're not a gardener and it doesn't matter, but I wouldn't want him visiting mine and eating up my crops. 🦔🦔🦔
What a great little feeding station you have set up.
So happy that the draenog showed up. :)
I love hedgehogs. We don't have them in the US, as far as I know. You are creative to set up the little house and have the water keep the cats away. I read some neighborhoods in England combine and organize to make their yards safe for these little cuties, so they have a bigger territory.
So cute.
How lovely! I've only seen a hedgehog around here a few times in the forty-odd years we've lived here. Too many urban foxes nearby, I suspect.
I love that you said run like the clappers. That's exactly what they do isn't it. I was quite amazed when I first saw one get up on its little legs and "run like the clappers".
I wish that trail cameras had been a popular thing back when I had a house and a big yard full of wildlife. I love your hedgehog feeder.
I so enjoyed seeing your "pet".
How very cute! I have not seen any hedgehogs in real life!
