Tomorrow afternoon, spread a tarpaulin/sheet by the bonfire, move the wood and stuff onto the tarp, checking for sleepy hedgehogs. All done? Take the chance to put nice DRY newspaper in the base of the fire as you pile the wood back up. Have a GREAT NIGHT and a clear conscience that there won't be a family of hoglets in there somewhere smile emoticon.
 GREAT NEWS |
| Our 'luxury' hog house under our kitchen window (complete with pretty blue paddly/drinking pool) now has a hoggy resident! We are THRILLED to bits. |
 |
| He/she is still coming out at nights and we could hear him gnashing away on catfood behind the litter bin while we handed out sweets and hot chocolate from my witch's couldron to hordes of Viking Halloween guests. |
 |
| I've spread out a punctured airbed on top to keep out the weather. I intended to nail it down but hoggy is asleep during the daytime and I'd hit my thumbs in the dark. |
 |
| This is the inhabited side, with little footprints. |
 |
| This is the other side. We are not sure if anyone is in there, because Jakob was so surprised to see the first hoggy under the hay, that we put the lid down quickly. We didn't want to disturb the dear little thing. Tonight Dr Watson plans to put a piece of paper down to see if anyone leaves any footprints. Six hoggies (Mummy + three babies, and two middle-sized) have been coming for food since about the end of August, so there are plenty of potential tenants. Watch this space tomorrow for news.
No footprints outside the right-hand side yet...
