civilservant Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I think they advise leaving crawl spaces under fences for hedgies, who can't climb over fences in the way that foxes can.I also hear that hedgehogs cover vast areas every evening when they hunt for food, so the chopping up of land into gardens and the building of roads is not helpful for them - a bit like how the Enclosure Act did for the British peasant, I suppose Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26187-hedgehog-in-the-garden/page/2/#findComment-585726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

civilservant Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 you could put a tunnel under the fence to help small critters get through, a bit like the Elephant and Castle underpasses, I suppose! ... unless your garden has solid walls, in which case it'd be quite a bit harder to do Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/26187-hedgehog-in-the-garden/page/2/#findComment-585734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzyboots Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 When I lived on crescent wood road we had the hedgehog(s) visit our garden. It was beautiful to watch. :). I also spied then snuffling along the edge of the dulwich wood house pub garden on a few occasions. :). So sweet!

fuzzyboots Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised, Fly, given the comment about them ranging quite far. They used to snuffle about in the dead leaves in my garden in the dead of night. Sigh! No such sights like this down in ED. nor the owls, woodpeckers, jays and peacock.
