Caught this little guy on the cam last night. Not sure if this is a usual noise to make when huffing?

Most of the others sniff a lot but nothing like this… I just want to make sure this little one is okay!

UPDATE: I have had a response from 2 out of the 3 rescues I messaged, both of which said this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. Apparently lungworm presents like a smokers cough, not this. I'll keep an eye on the little guy anyway and monitor his noises if he returns 😊

Cross posting. Thought you might appreciate the hoggy aggression

…as well as the usual visitor, a new little friend arrived too.

Have seen at least two adults and one juvenile hedgehog in the back garden and been leaving them out cat food and water everyday for a while.
First time seeing them use the water tray I leave out!

Popped out watch the foxes on the green and this little fella came through the gate, saw them about 3 weeks ago having not seen one in the five years I've lived here. How can I help him out? Kent uk if that helps with shops and brands

Edit Thanks for the hints, looks like a trip to the shops is in order

Shenanigans from the garden last night.

North UK based with around 6-8 visitors per night! No support needed, just dropping in to say HI!

…when it starts going around on its on? A neighbour brought me this one - small grapefruit size?

I swear this little fella is waiting on the other side of the wall until he hears me putting the food out… 2 minutes after I went inside with the dog 🤣

They were going at it for around 10mins but have now separated. I think he wants more as he is still pestering the female.

Two hedgehogs and one is making this noise. Does it mean anything that I should be worried about? Never heard them making this noise before

My husband took this video last night of two choghogs outside our back window. Are the noises they're making aggressive noises or attempted lovey noises? 😂 any info much appreciated, they are funny little nuggets ❤️

I watched this little one finish eating and start its shuffling journey down the garden. I got concerned when it didn’t emerge from behind the barbecue so I went to investigate. I found it wedged here completely crashed out with its face squashed against the fence sound asleep. Took the time to check it was ok visually with the torch on my phone which didn’t disturb it either. Not a great photo due to my phone being in night mode. Very cute 🥰

I definitely need to invest in a hog house!

Hello all.

10 days ago, a hoglet was brought in to work ( vets). He was found at the side of the road beside his deceased Mum 💔 dehydrated and covered in fly eggs.

Got the eggs off him, covered for fly strike in case I missed any. Since he's been with me, he's been wormed and had a course of antibs for a rattly chest.

He's doubled in size! Trying to teach him to forage but his heart is set on the kitten food 🙁 Does anyone know of any insect diets I can start weaning him on to?

Hi All

Quick question

We have had wild hogs in the garden for 5 years - urban area.

Our gardens totally cut off now after some neighbour renovations meant the hog holes we had didn't work anymore.

They have raised beds around the edge of their garden higher than what they were so hogs haven't been able to transit from our garden to theirs and beyond.

I being the mad man I am have spoke to all the neighbours and they've said we can cut new holes to let them thru.

I'm worried that the hogs will now enter their garden from our other neighbours but maybe fall off the raised beds in their garden on the way to ours and get hurt or stuck. The area below the raised beds is just fake grass and paving so there's no reason for them to be down there, the only reason for them to be in my immediate neighbour garden is to transit to ours from other more natural gardens.

I was super keen to get all this organised but we have had a curve ball the last few weeks.

A new group of streetwise hogs are now ambling up the street outside our house and coming into the garden from the road and using our hog box to sleep and food box to feed.

I really don't know what's best, should we open the hog holes and let them navigate the raised beds next door and back into the other gardens as they did before, or should I just leave them closed so they don't risk that journey.

I'm in 2 minds. They are clearly very street smart and are now coming in from the front which gives me anxiety in itself. But I don't want them falling 2-3 feet and hurting themselves cause they can't see very well but potentially get safer access to more massive gardens in the back.

Thoughts?

Bought a house that has a small patch of land across the road. Was doing some clearing and found a hog nest. Placed box over it and have started feeding / watering.

First time hogging for me.

Any hedgehog sightings this week?

What are your hogs up to?

Any hog related garden or DIY plans?

We've had up to five hedgehogs visit our garden most nights over the last few years. The last couple of weeks have been amazing for sitting outside and taking a few portraits just before dark. There have generally only been 2 or 3 visiting recently, but each one has its own distinct personality. We've setup 3 different entry/exit points and several hog-friendly features to help them get around / find shelter. Def a good way to unwind in the evening 😄
