    Default A surprise livingroom visitor

    About a month ago we heard some funny noises, and when we went to investigate we found this hedgehog in our living room. I think the flash from the first picture was not to his liking, so off he went back into the garden

    P.S. A fly curtain does not work on hedgehogs

    Quite a young one by the look of it as well TG, keep an eye out for him, as he may need feeding up, he looks too small to survive the winter, they like cat and dog food.

    When I took the picture it wasn't cold. I think they are just curious and wander around looking for food.

    Well keep an eye open, because if he is still wandering around when the cold weather really sets in and he looks underweight, he'll need feeding up, or he won't survive.

    I made a picture of this one in June 2007 in the garden, heard a bit of noise and went out hunting with my camera. Maybe it is the daddy

    Oh yes, it's amazing how much noise they make, certainly don't try and keep things quiet.
