Young Hedgehog sleeping off a meal at 8.40PM, or hiding the food and making sure nobody else tucks in! The juveniles are out and about early in the evening these days, feeding up before the adults scoff ii all!
By the way, it was perfectly fine, definitely sleeping, saw it wake up and raise its head out of the bowl a little while later. Disturbed by another juvenile feeding from an adjacent bowl.
Have a pleasant week folks, been a bit busy of late, I am trying to get the cameras dusted off!
