For a few weeks we had a little hedgehog in the garden. He was so sweet and lovely. We looked after him until a few days ago we found a colony of little hedgehogs in a neighbourhood’s garden we thought he belongs to so hopefully he is now reunited with his brothers and sisters. My daughter called him “Spillo” - which means “pin” in English – and she was totally devoted to him. Big tears when she had to part from him, of course!
An appeal to all drivers! Please be careful when you drive and don’t run over these little wonderful animals.
Apart from being so cute, hedgehogs are a powerful form of pest control. Did you know that a single hedgehog can keep an average garden free of pests by eating up to 200 grams of insects each night? They also keep away grass snakes, snails, rats and similar unwanted “guests”.
