Look who just paid a visit whilst I was outside on the swingseat. 😀😍🦔 (8.30pm!) Have you ever had a hedgehog visit your garden? 😊

Recently, one of our visiting hedgehogs walked right under the swing seat I was sitting on, prickling my bare foot &amp; started eating a dropped cheesy ball! 😁 I managed to lower my phone to record this.. and it's as cute and as adorable as you can get! 😍😍🦔😀

I hadn't seen our visiting hedgehogs for a couple of nights, but just as it was getting dark tonight, there they were! 😀 (Clip is poor, taken through my kitchen window with my phone, but wanted to show you anyway! 😊🦔)

Gorgeous Hedgehog was out again last night, (21.39 hours) munching on cat biscuit that we've put out for them. Turn the volume up and have a listen, it's adorable! 😍 (If you see one out during the day, please contact a wildlife rescue for advice!) 🦔
