Noisey

We have a swashbuckling addition to our menagerie, in the shape of a hedgehog; who. owing to the delicacy of his table manners, we have called "Noisey". Noisey started appearing in our polytunnel about a month ago and has been devouring cat biscuits ever since. The biscuits are in the polytunnel because that's where one of our cats has taken up residence. She is an old, semi-feral, reclusive sort of feline who doesn't like being in the house. Like all cats, she likes to be fed certain foods at particular times and Noisey has taken a fancy to her cat biscuits.

 

Initially we were worried at seeing a hedgehog out in the daylight, but we have weighed it (750 gms of mostly cat biscuits) and it seems perfectly healthy; having no sign of ticks or fly eggs anywhere. It pays us a visit 4-5 times each night and day. In the dark it ambles about all over the place, but during daylight it keeps under cover as much as possible; only breaking cover for the short dash to the tunnel where the biscuits are. We think that it might be a female, but it rolls into a ball too quickly for us to check.

 

We are trying to get it away from the polytunnel, to reduce the danger of it picking up or passing on lungworm etc., by placing biscuits and water in our garden shrubbery but the little chap won't leave the polytunnel alone.

 

We are going to create a couple of winter shelters for it using the unlimited amounts of straw, leaves and branches that we have at the coppice.
