Re: Hedgehogs
 

when i was 10 years old me and a girl found a hedgehog in a field and we adopted it as our own and left it slugs which we found under large stones etc to eat

it was only after 7 days that we realised that it wasnt actualy moving from where we left it and i turned it over to discover it had been half eaten away by maggots

also later in my mid 20's i found 2 baby hedgehogs outside my flat in church been tormented by cats , the cats got a brick each thrown at them and i put the baby hedgehogs safely i a nearby bush

in my late 20's i went out to burnley and spent my taxi fare on booze and to kill time on the walk home i played football with a round object which i later found to be a hedgehog after kicking it around for about 10 mins , i like to think my previous 2 acts of kindness cancell out this honest mistake :D

Was Ray Mears that horrible swine of a govener in Prisoner Cell Block H???:eek:

Re: Hedgehogs
 

He He He!! :D

He's one of these outdoor bush tucker guys Granny ;)

Re: Hedgehogs
 

Nay. Ray Mears is a survival specialist who appears on t'telly. He teaches how to survive for 6 months in the wilderness with nothing more than a penknife and a piece of string. You come out fatter than when you went in.

Did I ever tell you about my survival course, involving two slices of Hovis and a live frog? If you could eat that, you didn't need the course...

I understood that the 'nursery book' recommendation to attract hedgehogs was pobs in milk (lancashire glossary: pieces of bread in water, for those who wouldn't know). Problem is could attract the rats, which might be destined for another thread at some stage. :eek:

Re: Hedgehogs
 

Are you talking about your neighbours again?

Re: Hedgehogs
 

They now say you shouldn't give hedgehogs milk, Kate, it's bad for them! (Oh heck, all those years of cruelty to hedgehogs in West End when I was a child.) Apparently the stuff to give them is dog food. :)
