yes they do..... they love em!!

I do not have any hedgehogs and I wish I did, my beer traps are not really have much effect this year as I am over run with the slimey little blighters

so if anyone has some spare hedge pigs (I like that better than hogs!!) please send them this way!! :lol:

Oh yes, a hedgehog in your garden is great, we had one when I was little, came every night, garden was slug free, it was great. :thumbs:

Love hedgehogs (actually I'm like you Beth, I call them hedgepiggies), so sweet, especially the little uns before they get all prickly. :blush:

Aww, thanks everyone :thumbs:

I have 2 hedgehogs to my knowledge, who come along and VERY NOISILY scoff any left over cat food that might be outside...and they drink all the water as well!!!! love 'em

hence I am overrun with bazillions of slugs, one was even in my guinea pigs hutch this a.m.!!! :wow: I cant have that! ;)

Methinks I will keep the cat food indoor overnight and let the hedgehogs forage for slugs for a while.... :rolleyes:

You could catch some slugs and put them in the bowl for them! :P
