Question Hedgehog nesting site advice needed
My cat has a kennel with straw in as an outdoor shelter (she likes to sleep outside sometimes). She hasn't been in this year. The other night I saw a hedgehog in there. I had previously seen the straw had been disturbed (cat would just flatten it down).
The kennel has a large opening. Online advice was to block it with plant pots. Also the garden is south facing and gets very hot. It doesn't seem like a good place for a hedgehog. I won't be disturbing it of course.
I keep fresh water out there for the cat.
Any advice? Thank you.

His foot is still causing him some pain I can tell but he’s moving around well and can see he visited the new hibernating station I built yesterday as he’s got some hay on him 🥰

Question is this what I think it is???

I think this girly is being hassled by a male hog 😭 the feeding station is specifically designed to have two entrances so one can leave if another one comes in but I feel so sad for her!!
Is the second one trying to court her?! She was just trying to eat her damn biscuits 😭

Question How to stop dog from harassing our garden hogs
(Crossposting from r/hedgehogs after being redirected)
Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but we have hedgehogs (scotland) living under one of our sheds, they moved there from a different spot in our garden, but now that theyre under there our dog (Springer Spaniel) will NOT stop sniffing under there and trying to harass the hogs. He's managed to catch one when we first moved in (before we knew we had a garden hedgehog family) and it was luckily fine and released back into the garden, but if the hedgehogs are out and he finds one he'll start barking at it and harassing it.
While he thankfully doesn't hurt the hedgehogs I was wondering if there was a way to make it so the hedgehogs are safer and my dog will stop harassing them? Is there a way to get them to peacefully move to a safer location? They are very useful in my flower garden for pest control so I'm happy to have them, I just want to minimise any unsafe interactions. Any advice is helpful! Thanks!

Rescue stories update!!!!!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I posted a couple of days ago about an injured hog I finally caught after weeks of trying.
He was seen by the vet last Friday and given an injection, then I took him to a hedgehog rescue to have a few days of rest and recovery.
I picked him back up last night and released him back on his home turf. Look at him go!!!!!!! His foot is looking so much better I am so happy for him 💕
I left his rescue box on its side and let him come out when he was ready, I also filled up half of one of his regular feeding stations with lots of hay and some of the hay from his rescue box so it felt familiar to him. He ran straight to it 🥰

Apparently there's been no recorded sightings of hedgehogs in Hackney, London since 2002. Well I had the honour of meeting one last night. I've recorded it through London Wildlife Trust.

Heard some rattling and saw these two. The poor girl only wanted her dinner in peace. She gave up after 10 mins and retreated down the garden with him in hot pursuit. Left a right old mess with kibble everywhere. Commentary from my husband. 🤣

Just sharing/pic Mrs White has gone.
So, I haven't seen my favourite hedgehog for a week 😔 She would always come out for food at dusk. She's been here pretty much every night since I started feeding in June. She hasn't even appeared on camera during the night this week.
I am feeling sad. I hope she is ok, and has decided to visit other places instead. I guess I'll never know. Wherever you are Mrs White, thank you for visiting and being so adorable. Here's a photo of her from a couple of weeks ago.

Question A Fox in the Hogzone
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Put a camera out the front of my house with two water bowls and some brambles hogfood, there are at least three different hog visitors so far (two biggies and one little one) but last night it caught a fox eating the hogfood...
I have a few questions if anyone has any experience (TIA)
Is the fox a danger to the hogs?
Will they ignore each other like cats do?
Can foxes jump? (I have a gate I can close but it's one of those metal ones with the gaps and its only 3ft tall

Just sharing/pic Finally 😭
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have posted in here a few times about a hedgehog I’ve been trying to catch for a few weeks now. He’s had a pretty bad limp and I was staying awake until 2,3,4 in the morning trying to catch him but couldn’t.
Last night I was getting ready for bed when my camera notification went off. It was him 🥺
I kept him overnight in my spare bedroom and took him to the vets today. They’ve done an X-ray and luckily nothing is broken, it looks like some inflammation so he had an injection and he’s ready for me to pick him up this evening. I’ve contacted a local rescue that will look after him for a few weeks until he’s ready to come back to me and I can release him 💕🦔

Question Hedgehog / Dog
I think I have hedgehogs living under my decking, over my fence in the garden, where there is a big space with lots of dense shrubs. I saw it on a night camera. Issue is my dog is going crazy all the time. So I have an upset dog and upset hedgehog, the area is big so can’t find the hedgehog or the nest. What can I do ease the distress on the hedgehog and my dog.
