Spoilt for choice with all those leaves!
This spring, I had one drag the kitchen paper from the floor of the water station into the hog house. A few weeks later he had a springclean and pushed out some of the hundreds of leaves that he'd dragged into his nest. He looked faintly irritated, as if somebody else had put them there!

I'm so sorry. 😪

I'm upset and I'm a Brit! It's just truly shocking.

Thanks, that made me laugh out loud.🙂 I don't think I've ever seen one go so far as to nearly end up on their back!

And that moment when they take it just a bit too far and topple over sideways!

Can I just ask what the food is? They look like mealworms?

I love it when that happens!

Evidently some training is required at my end! At least I did find one of the 3 lost bowls on some rough ground near my house - the fox probably dropped it after all the food fell out. 🤣

Good job you used a big, heavy bowl. My neighbour has lost 5 bowls in 3 weeks - she puts food out for any stray cats, but the foxes also eat it and keep making off with the bowls. She also inadvertently used my hedgehog water bowls to put food in when I was away and I lost 3 out of 4 as a result!

That indignant little staccato dance they do when faced with another hedgehog - love it!

Wow! That's amazing.

I left the front as a meadow, too, but will have to get it all cut back when I return from holiday in September. If I'd kept the front lawn short, I would have fooled her, as you can't see the back from the road.

Thanks! I counted 15 different flowering plants and they were always busy with butterflies, bees, hover flies and other insects that I couldn't identify. Lots of cinnabar moth caterpillars on the ragwort, too. 🙂

But I have hogs and foxes visiting the front garden, who won't be put off by a short lawn, when kitten biscuits, eggs and water await them!

I'm stuck in a rented house after my house purchase fell through and can't wait to have my own place where I can do that kind of thing. My landlady found out I had let the lawns go to meadow for the summer and complained. 🙄

Wow, amazing catch - both by the fox and you!

It's great that you have a neighbourhood so engaged with our little spiky friends!
