"Wildlife people are warning people not to dump pumpkins in the wild because they are poisonous to hedgehogs.
Could this be why hedgehogs are so rare these days "
Hedgehogs aren't rare.
They've just realised people are dicks and hide from us.
Numbers have dropped around 8% in the last 20 years but that's because we keep running them over and most hedgehogs can't afford as many kids anymore due to the cost of living crisis.

It certainly won,t help but no there will be other factors Involved some of these things can be complex along with roads, habitat change, all we can do Is stick to what we always have one thing never to do Is put (slug pellets out deadly to hedgehogs) If hedgehogs have access to one garden then another without getting trapped that will help them too..  |

Take a drive in the country during the hedgehog season and you will see the remains of thousands of them splattered across the roads. And observe just how flat they are. They must have fallen from a very great height to end up like that! The popular ‘explanation’ for these pitiful remains is that the hedgehogs have been run over by motor cars. Oh dear, oh dear. It is quite clear to me that the hedgehog, is a dweller of the upper atmosphere. It feeds upon flying insects and the tiny fish that inhabit the Aquasphere.
The Aquasphere, as all who have read my monograph "Noah’s Flood: Where all that water actually came from" will know, is the mile-thick outer layer of water which prevents our atmosphere from drifting away into space. Hedgehogs, which fish in this region, float about up there, remaining aloft due to the inflated sacs of natural methane which surround their bodies.
When they die, often due to punctures received during the rutting season, they deflate and plunge down to earth, exploding as they strike the Tarmac. The fact that you never see a flat hedgehog upon a soft grassy field, bears this out and proves my point somewhat conclusively, I so believe. |
