>Meet Spike!
>A few weeks ago I started hinting of some changes here at blueadt house and now I can finally reveal whats been going on.
Meet Spike!
He was taken into rescue in June ’06 weighing just 3oz & suffering from a variety of ailments including lung worm. Now a healthy 4lb he’s strong enough to go back into the wild or rather the bottom of our garden. He’ll have the freedom to come & go as he wants with the added advantage of fresh food & water delivered every evening.

DH has made him a special house & it’s carefully hidden under plastic covered in a mountain of leaves in a corner under a large bush sheltered by fencing.
‘Band H’ Hedgehog house
We’re hoping that he doesn’t ‘leg it’ & that he choses to stay in his house snug in all the leaves. The bottom of our garden is quite overgrown & home to squirrels in the trees, mice & lots of birds including Tawny owls. Hopefully he’ll fit in well & make it his home.

>Oh bless him! I do hope he sticks around in your garden. We have a regular hedgehog visitor here who has been seen snaffling birdseed from the ground 🙂

>He’s so sweet! He’s clearly done VERY well under your supervision though – you don’t need to tell us he isn’t 3 oz anymore 😀

>awwwwww, he’s so cute!!!!!! Will the dogs leave him alone? I think Scooby would probably fetch him in to the house:-0) I’m sure he’ll decide to stay when he sees his new house! I’d love to have wildlife at the bottom of my garden…….

We used to have a family of hedgehogs living in the back of our garden in our old house years ago. Hope he settles in lovely 😉

>wow! how do you get a hedgehog? we’re after a breeding pair for our veg patch, and bill could build a hutch like that no problem.
i hope he has a long and happy life in your garden.
our dalmatian would bring us hedgehogs, but he never harmed them.
