Hedgehogs

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:
 
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. :)

Once had a tame hedgehog, which lived mostly indoors. It used to wriggle into the back of our old TV and sleep there, so whenever you wanted to watch TV, you had to check that the hedgehog wasn't hugging the valves (yes, that old!).

They are largely nocturnal, so you'll have to hang around with a torch.
 
It's a myth that hedge hogs carry apples on their backs, the only way would be if a napple fell on it's spines.

Never even heard the 'myth' of hedgehogs carrying apples before! :confused:
 
A lot of people haven't, I think it's dying out TBH. People probably realise it is just that. They did an expiriment on one of the nature programs a while ago to try to get it to pick an apple up on its spines but no, hedgy gogs have no interest in doing so, they probably think we're mental creatures. erm can't find a pic of a hedgehog with an apple on it's back, only a pear.
 
Having a fag out the bedroom window at about 3am this morning, listening to the drunken idiots round the corner taking their post-football anger out on each other ('twas a good fight, well worth getting up to watch :boxing_sm) and what do I see toddling across the road? A big fat roly poly hedgehog :D
