We also put out the night camera to check on timings etc..  Meal worms have been put out regularly. 

Next year I am going to buy several bottles of nail varnish to dab on the spines so that I can tell which is which ..........

Please don't. Hedgehogs self-annoint and could ingest it.

Have you weighed the small one yet?

OK - won't be buying the nail varnish, thanks for that.

Have hardly stepped outside since Thursday evening until this morning.  Will see what the night camera shows ..........

We think it is the little one  ;D but once we've seen the camera film we may know more.

Birds are really busy, it's chilly out there.

We had 4 visiting two nights ago from 8.30 p.m.: 2 arrived together around 1.45 p.m. and scuttled around the garden together.  Nothing small so small now weighs a good weight  :) 750g.  Food out, ready for their visits later.

If it was small a week ago it won't suddenly be big  ;D

I'm confused. One week ago you posted that if 'small is still around when weather turns colder..' so I assumed he was small then!

1 hog again, feeding on meal worms last night :-)

Birds busy on the feeders.  Sign of a cold spell.

Hogs still looking for grub throughout the night.  Not cold enough to hibernate.
