The hedgehogs should hibernate end of nov- beginning of december but I can't see that happening. I have seen bees in the garden (+ flies - yuk) also saw a butterfly last week. I don't know what happened to the baby hedgies though - unless they come out later - I have only seen the original spike the last week or so - I know it's him as he doesn't run when I go to feed him - just puts his head down - anyway - he seems healthy enough on his diet of science plan senior ;D + the odd pouch of wet (seeing as clapton rejects 1/2 dozen or so a day why waste it?) I read that reduced fat cat food is better for them

They were right about the weather in Surrey yesterday - torrential rain, thunder right overhead, and hailstones so hard they were setting car alarms off lol  ;)

mild is the word.
I read somewhere that they are having real trouble with bears this year as none of them have hibinated.

 Lots of big hungry grumpy grizzlies wandering around your back yard puts a whole new meaning on `local wildlife' doesn't it lol :garf:

Just starting to get a bit windy and drizzly now... reckon we'll get it in the night. Stay snug, everyone!  :-:
