Wednesday 23d: Tonight Melanie discovered where the Hedgehog had nested...quite by accident. Let me recount the story...Last Sunday night, she found a rather large Hedgehog in the garden. We gave it some food and water and left it too it's own devices not thinking that we would ever see it again! Mel surmised that it was a pregnant female...Very astute of her because as it turns out, this Hedgehog has given birth to 4 Hoglets! The nest is in our garden and safe...well as safe as things can be. The spikes on the Hoglets are firm and the eyes on all 4 are still closed. So between last Sunday night and today, the Hoglets were born. Needless to say, we will be keeping a close watch on mother and babies.
