Hedghogs

Hi

My neighbour is bringing hedgehogs back to his garden after walking his dog. My concern is are they a protected species? and I worry about the young.

They aren't a protected species, at least not around here, and they are some of the hardiest little animals you can find. The young will be fine.

When we used to have hedgehogs in our garden my mum used to put a dish of cat food out for them
