The last hedgehog I saw was dead on the pavement. It looked like someone had broken its back as it was dipped down alot in the middle. We used to have one visiting our old lawn, put out some catfood to encourage it to come back, that’s what we used to do. They’re very good in a garden because they eat alot of the pests.

Weird people…

They’re a delicacy for the Aboriginals in this country

I’m guessing the Hedgehog did not feel too good the day after either.
Seriously though they do sadly get hit a lot by cars, ……
No. I think you’ll find they generally only get hit the once. My aunt’s dog was so stupid he used to charge at them if he found one in the garden. The dog would rush into the house squealing with spines sticking out of various parts of his anatomy while you could hear the hedgehog laughing as he strolled away unscathed.

I really like them, those hedgehogs. Unfortunatelly they always tend to cross busy streets at nights so you can see their eyes only when it’s too late to brake. 🙁 Last week I hit one and I really felt bad for a day. 🙁

Might look nice and cute but have you heard the noise when Mr & Mrs Tiggywinkle “get it on” ?
It’s all snorting and snuffling and squelching not the “ooh.. ouch… mind me ahhh…ouch…Aowww… sorry”
that with all those prickles you might expect ! 😀
