tinytawnykitten Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was out and about today and spotted this little hedgehog snuffling about the Ohariu Valley Golf Club so I jumped the fence and took a few photos before and after he rolled into a ball . This is my favourite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Aw cute!! Nice photo! Shame they are such a pest to our native birds, lizards and invertebrates. Like stoats - utterly amazing animals but a big problem outside of where they evolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I don't know how it is in Wellywood but down here if you find young ones born late in the season they can be in trouble as they probably don't have enough condition to hibernate and are running around trying to find food when there is not much about. We found one last year that was covered in mange and not well at all. Took it to the rescue lady but she didn't give it much of a chance.

livebearer_breeder Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 If its out in the open during the daytime its usually a bad sign unless theyve gotten stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 hedgehogs are awesome! i've lived on the north shore auckland most my life, in the suburbs.. and i've always had hedgehogs living in the bush outside my house... they must be feeding off civilization.. their abundance shows their method of survival is well complimented by the mess that humans tend to make...! i've always fed them when i see them, they fascinate me! you only really catch them at night.. unless they're sick or lost/trapped. they love cat pellets, or a soggy piece of bread. you'd never know they were there unless you catch them out on their shuffles one night.. if you ever hear a rustling in the bushes by your letterbox, then chuck a handful of moggys dinner in there.. mister hedgehog will totally appreciate it!

mcrudd Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 we found a whole little family last year after we pruned all our fruit trees, they were hiding between all the cuttings that were there for a few days while we waited for the chipper guy. They were so cute, a perfect opportunity to quickly show my two kids. Then we let them scurry off to who knows where :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 i went for a walk with a hedgehog a few days ago. i saw it outside the neighbours place, and walked / guided it back to my place and under the truck unit in our garden. took 10 minutes to go 5 meters, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
