There is a list of phone numbers for regional hedgehog help here http://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/carers.htm Hi Irene

Contractor comes in next week to do fences. I can leave the base of the shed intact and fence round the back of it but should I move the hedgehogs out rather than frighten them when the contractor comes? Hi

One evening recently, we saw five sightings - at least two hedgehogs given the size difference.

If you have cats why not swap to dog food for the hedgehog ... try to find a brand the cats don't like.

A thought - maybe it's attracted to the grand state of disarray in our garden... Any excuse not to do the weeding!
