Hedgehogs in Gardens

Hi

I'm getting hedgehogs from Lower Moss Wood Nature Reserve for my garden tomorrow. My dad's built a shelter out of bits of wood, and we've been out to get a load of stick and leaves for the area. We've also been to Aldi to get cat food (we also got a very nice fresh juicer). But anyway, Does anybody else keep Hedgehogs, if so, is there anything I've forgotten?

 

You're keeping them as pets..?

 

No, releasing them into the garden. Re-homing them.

 

Do they particuarly need rehoming?

 

Did anyone watch the episode of Michaela Strachan at Tiggywinkles?

They released Hedgehogs into a guy's garden. I'm doing the same thing.

 

Don't get any fishy cat food, it upsets their stomachs.

 

Don't Worry, we won't be doing that. Both Hedgehogs have since completely dissapeared.
