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!

The kitten biscuit buffet and H2O bar were popular last night! Second clip follows in replies... #hedgehogs #foxes ##urbanwildlife

Well that escalated fast! Fortunately it was over as quickly as it had begun, with seemingly no harm done to either participant in this Sumo wrestling bout. 🤣 #hedgehogs ##urbanwildlife #gardenwildlife

A cat, a fox and a hedgehog walk into a bar... 🤣 The cat is hard to see, but is behind the hog, and this was all going on underneath my front window in a #Derby suburb. NB No animals were harmed in the making of this movie! #hedgehogs #foxes #cats #urbanwildlife #nature

I presume that the noises on this clip are from the fox rather than another nearby animal? This is in my front garden and it seems odd that it should be drawing attention to itself when it's usually super-cautious and checking its surroundings every few seconds. #urbanfox #foxes #wildlife

'Oi, mate, if you insist on eating around me, do you mind at least not touching my bum!'

The fox only stayed for about 20 seconds and after 4 minutes, the hog felt safe enough to unravel and continue eating. #hedgehogs #foxes #garden #wildlife

This may make you smile. Two hedgehogs were having a scuffle in my garden last night. I think we can assume that this is the one who was forced into a ball and rolled on the ground by the other one! I love the straw 'hat'. 🤣

#hedgehogs When you suddenly realise you're not alone... This is the second hog to appear at my new house in less than a week - I'm so pleased. I think the smaller one is a female and the newcomer a male, judging by their subsequent behaviour. Circling from him, huffing and puffing from her!

Moved into a new rented house on 21 March that has no back garden access for #hedgehogs and was missing my spiky visitors from my old place... then this little munchkin turned up last night to enjoy the water and kitten biscuits that I've been leaving in a sheltered spot out front. 🙂 #wildlife
