I decided to weigh one of the adult hogs to check that they are on course to be ok when hibernation comes around.
I’m pleased to say that this big boy was a whopping 1300g (1.3Kg), which is a very healthy weight indeed, so he’ll have no problems this winter 🙂
The hogs have been meeting at the feeding station quite regularly.
Thankfully the fighting has stopped but the huffing and puffing continues. Will these two ever learn to share?
Next time you’re at the “all you can eat” buffet and you find something you really like, why not try adopting the same tactics as this greedy hog?! 😀
The cheeky smile at the end says it all. . . . . .
There’s been no shortage of petty fights among our hedgehogs. Maybe they’re as frustrated with the lack of nice weather this month as we are?! 🙂
There was a particularly ferocious incident inside the feeding station the other night. . . .
I think the title says it all but here is a short clip of 3 of the more amusing moments so far this year. . . . . 😀
The majority of hedgehog footage captured this month has consisted of, what appears to be, general domestic fighting between one of the males and a female (now that she has returned to the scene). A typical married couple, some might say?! 🙂
I think I’m going to have to lay down a few rules, starting with. . . . .
“No fighting in the feeding station!”
The resident moggy was not amused 🙂
The 2 male hedgehogs are getting greedy and appear to be trying to gain unique access to the feeding station. At one point it was like watching a couple of WWE wrestlers!
While the females are away the boys will play! . . . .
Quite aggressively though by the looks of things. . . .
