I discovered that there was at least one hedgehog living in the vicinity of my back garden last weekend, so naturally I dedicated a solid afternoon of quarantine time to making it a dedicated feeding area.
Prior to this I actually thought I might have a fox but then I looked up the different types of animal poo on an animal poo website (yes they exist) and realised it was definitely a hedgehog but that’s besides the point
anyway after leaving different variations of meat from my dinner out in the garden for at least a week, I invested in some cat food and dog biscuits for the cafe. It keeps getting eaten, but I have yet to witness my hedgehog visit the venue I lovingly built especially for him
I caught a glimpse of him in the hedge the other night and he was LORGE so I made my hedgehog cafe with a massive door to accommodate him. It turns out that door is large enough for a cat to fit through as well.
I have since had to construct a temporary entrance to stop cats getting in and eating the cat food I DIDN’T buy for them but then @chareyt told me a hedgehog would get stuck in the pringle tube and die
so now I’ve had to make another temporary entrance out of old bricks because I am literally obsessed with providing for this imaginary hedgehog family I’ve never actually seen enter my garden
Honestly there is no point to this thread, I’ve just spent the better part of 90 mins sat in the dark staring through my patio doors for nothing and I really needed to justify it to myself
we go again tomorrow and if the hedgehog still refuses to show himself to me then I will probably lose my mind
thank you to all 12 of my followers for waiting so eagerly for an update to this enthralling tale, you will be pleased to know my CAMOUFLAGE wildlife camera arrived yesterday
I tested it out yesterday for a couple of hours because it only runs on 4 AA batteries and I didn’t want to use up all my fun at once. Nothing came while the camera was on but the food was gone by this morning LIVING NIGHTMARE
with thanks to @millierosecooke and @ladyhaja for a fox inspired tweet prompt I just went to check on my dish of mashed cat food and dog biscuits, it was empty. I have the situation on camera
here’s the kicker
the bitch knows exactly what she& #39;s doing
here she is, the brazen thief in action
I think we all know, with me being a video editor, what is coming next
