At this time of year, when they're all tucked up in hibernation, you probably won’t spot many hedgehogs – though some hibernating wake up during their hibernation!
These wakeful periods generally last a day or two & although sometimes unprompted can be caused by a disturbance or unexpectedly warm weather.
Healthy hedgehogs aren’t usually spotted out during the daytime.
Which is why we are following the advice of our friends at the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and refraining from showing well-lit shots of our spiky friends.
As we're heading towards the time when hedgehogs begin to stir, we're walking with the trundl app to create funds to support them.
Hedgehogs are truly in peril in the UK, but if we club together to safeguard their wild places and open up the highways between our gardens, they may have a chance.
Thanks for your support 🦔
