Pickering Hedgehog Rescue

Thank you to eveyone who sent us the items from our Amazon Wish List this week. It's such a great help to the rescue. Thank you 🦔🦔🦔 amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls…

Some hedgehogs from last night. I never tire of watching these lovely prickles! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/dbhGXDgzG3k

All quiet last night, lots of visits to the feeder but one at a time. One of my cameras has decided to fail but a replacement is on the way. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/1dJDh5x7CYM

@squirrel_london So do I, it's a constant battle to keep them out of the food.

@RescuePickering I hate slugs for what they can do to poor helpless hogs. X

Hedgehogs are such messy eaters, which can be a problem when I'm away for a few days as I have to clean the bowls and feeding stations out daily. Also with it being wet last night the slugs came out in force, another reason for cleaning. #hedgehog youtu.be/cxGFNJnCTbE

A relatively quiet night until the end when the camera was knocked over by two boistrous hogs! If anyone has any suggestions re the slug problem, please share. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/csKbF1Lxo8o

Lots going on last night. Courtship and a bit of pushing about. A good stretch in one of the feeding stations too! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/Eo5mhGlAAMg

Lovely weather, isn't it?🌞 Unless you're a nocturnal animal who has to sleep all through the hot day, and wake at night to find no water. No puddles. No kind dishes. Unseen. Unthought of. Just the tantalising smell of water from a pond you may drown in, or a drain you may get trapped in, or a stagnant, dirty old birdbath you may get fatal fluke from. Hedgehogs need to drink a lot of water to stay healthy. Please provide clean, fresh, safe ground level water for our precious wildlife. Tap water is best. Pop a dish or two out tonight. Keep it clean. Keep it full. Keep it saving lives.❤️

Lots of activity last night with three in one of the feeding stations at once. There is plenty of food available in different parts of the garden but they decided to all be in one of the feeders! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #wildlifegardening youtu.be/qLWqBxN6QhQ

Hedgehogs from last night. The mouse is still around and I'm sure I saw a baby mouse the other day! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/IwLHG8KMPXM

The hedgehog in the nest was out just on dusk again last night. Also the camera got knocked over right at the end! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/3K3u-eO-bPE

I'm pleased to say one of the hedgehog houses is definitely occupied. The hedgehog came out just before dusk last night and was in and out during the night. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/thanBCdjT-Q

@squirrel_london I think so, they can circle each other for hours before mating.

@RescuePickering Did he know what he was doing? 😆 X

Lots of attempted mating behaviour going on last night, and a bit of pushing and shoving! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/ZF4P5WnWwCo

A few hedgehog videos from last night. We've still got a mouse visiting which is remarkable because there are lots of cats in the area. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/tiM_xgCwy-U

Busy night last night with lots of visits to the feeders. It was very cold here and doesn't look like it's going to warm up til the end of the week. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/r8SloL03Nto

Quite a lot going on last night including a bit of fighting. Lots of visits to the feeding stations. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/HKVR1XutGZM

@squirrel_london I can't be 100% sure but possibly

@RescuePickering Love the crunching ❤️ Is this two boars? X

Quite difficult to watch at times, but this is the reality of how vicious they can be at times. Thankfully they both walked away unscathed. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/2uU8GBlfApA

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #retweet! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! 1/9

Some action from last night. At one point I saw three together, some pushing and shoving and some circling but oterwise quietly getting on with their nightly wanderings. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/WSQWXzfskYk
