"Ahhh aren't they cute?
But I can't remember the last time I saw one, don't even see them sadly squished on the roads much now.
Are they endangered,have the Badgers eaten them all?"
We have hedgehogs in our garden. They seem to have an agreement with the badgers that they'll coexist and the badgers will eat out rather than hunting at home. |

"Fucking badger chased our cat the other night, when we went out to chase it off it ran at jools and I chased us inside.
Evil buggers.  "
But they're damn clever. I watched one systematically take down the fence at the end of the garden on badger cam the other night. |

The hedgehog population has been falling sharply for many years now sadly with only an estimated 1.55 million of these wonderful little creatures remaining in the UK.
Such is their plight that they have been officially classified as ‘vulnerable to extinction’ - a terrible occurrence which, according to some experts, could happen within the next ten years  |

Haven’t seen any in the south for quite sometime, however the last ten days up north we had multiple hedgehog visits every night coming for food and drink. Was lovely to watch them, they are speedy buggers when get moving |

If you have a fence marking your garden border then cut a little hole in the bottom. That'll help.
And doing the same on the other two sides, obvs. Thaat way they can get through all the gardens.
If you can get a traditional privet hedge or whatever too, that would help ALL the wildlife prosper.
Oh. And get a pond. Just shove an old plastic washbasin thing in the ground.
I'm not Chris Packham. Honest.

I have at least two in my garden. Feed them dried mealworms every night, see them most days. Had three last year. I'm sure two males and a female as the bigger two were constantly fighting. They are quite noisy little things. |

The cats and the hedgehog in our garden have signed a pact of mutual acceptance even when the hedgehog is nicking the cat food that has been left out at night. |

We have lots of hedge pigs here, my stupid dog picks them up like puppies and brings them to the back door so he can bring them in and look after them, some of the ones we get are the size of football's and really pissed off about being picked up  |

Feeding dried bugs have no nutritional value for hedgehogs, you are better off with cat biscuits.
"There’s loads by us. I leave them water and dried bugs from the pet shop on the back patio"

"We've been feeding a family of them for several years now .even when go on holiday arrange for someone to put the water and cat biscuits out for them.
Where do they choose for their holliers?"

They along with the frogs and toads have drastically reduced the slug invasion on my veg! Last night i had to put a step in as the smaller one couldn't get onto the path. Dont forget if you have a pond pop a ramp in and slug pellets are poisonous to them |

hedgehogs and its so sad to see their plight .
Mainly humans rather than badgers that's caused it tbh .
Thank god for the Hedgehog sanctuary
