  • Hedgehog collecting dry(ish) leaves to build a nice warm nest to hibernate in. He'll wake up every 10 days or so (if it's warm enough) and forage for food and gather new bedding and then go back to sleep. Enjoy!

    In using that bag the hedgehog displayed a level of intelligence far beyond what I had prescribed it, how very thought provoking thank you Frank for this wonderful video

    This is so wholesome. I love the switch from carefully and patiently moving leaves back and forth on his tippy toes and then 1:57 "Wait - you know what? I'm taking the bag. Sod it let's just take the entire bag of leaves and make life easier" 😂

    Hi 👋 just to say this is an awsome video ..as a gardener I came across a hedgehog nest whilst clearing a town garden in side it was lots of old carrier bags strips of plastic an old sock and ..a bathroom sponge ! ..as there were few leaves in that garden..talk about recycling ! We had to move him to a local woodland borderd by fields and bramble patches ..we moved him complete with bedding into a disused rabbit hole..I often wonder how the hedgehog got on ..but we did the best thing as slabs were going down in that garden. Anyway super video thanks for sharing...ps the grunting sound the hedgehog makes is also a mateing call I understand ? So they can find each other when they meet they mate and then part ways and mother hedgehog raises the hoglets alone ..who are born spineless or with very soft spines which harden soon after..?

    Absolutely adore hedgehogs, been very lucky to have them visiting the garden for the past few years, got two hedgehog houses in the garden but they remained empty most of the year, they were both occupied back in the spring but both of those hogs decided to move on & then a youngster turned up early June & stayed around but wasn't in either house though but he/she kept visiting every night until just a few weeks ago, might have started hibernating early.

      Of course we give them food but that's in a separate "feeder" made from a plastic storage box with a 4" hole drilled/cut in the side at the farthest corner from the food to keep it dry. I'll put some videos up of what happens during day with birds and at night with hedgehogs (and mice!) When I get the time.

    Have just ordered the sane hedgehog house, seems very well built & weatherproof & is also much larger than the previous hedgehog houses I purchased.
    I hope the hog doesn't get to those mealworms you put put for the birds as they are incredibly bad for hedgehogs & actually cause terrible bone disease which ends up being fatal.

    • @frankanthony8771

    Fantastic video! Thank you for making it! I have a question. I have a hedgehog who is visiting me regularly and I want to get him a home also like yours. However, I worry that if I make him a home and he nests in it I will wake him up with general working in my garden (cutting the garden, strimming, taking the bins out). Will this kind of thing annoy a hedgehog trying to hibernate? Thanks again for the great video it was amazing!

    • @frankanthony8771
      @frankanthony8771  3 роки тому +2

      Hedgehogs don't hibernate for the whole winter (when you won't be doing much in the garden anyway) but go to sleep for a week or so and wake up during warm spells to top up their fat reserves and then hibernate again when the weather gets colder. Point the entrance to the home away from the prevailing winds.
      Make sure that there is a 'corridor' leading from the entrance to the rear of the house so that the hedgehog has to turn into the hibernaculum (sleeping area), this corridor reduces the chance of cold winds getting into the hibernaculum. Select good leaves in the fall to dry in your garage so that the hedgehog has dry leaves to use for bedding. Dry straw is good for bedding, too (although not as soft as leaves). Do not use hay for bedding as that may have mould already in it or develop mould when (not IF) it gets damp and is not suitable as bedding. Do not expect hedgehogs to use the first year or even longer.
