They are really great eaters. This gives me opportunity to meet them every evening. Every evening I am putting out around 1kg of food, which is eaten up quite quickly by around 10 hedgehogs coming in different times. It's favorite habitats are edges of forests, gardens and parks. They are active during evenings and nights, resting between five in the morning and eight in the evening.
Hedgehogs are rather lonely creatures, and they are easily starting fights with each other.
Their life span is from six to ten years. Senses their sight and hearing are rather good but the smell is excellent. His nose is always wet. Even a worm hidden 3 cm under the ground will not be safe from a hedgehog. Especially welcome by passionate gardeners.
