New Hoggy feeding station a success!!!

I have just replaced my old hedgehog feeding station with a new one.

With this one I have kept the lid on the bottom and put a sheet of newspaper on it to make cleaning a bit easier.

The new station is much clearer and I can see my hedgehogs better!

The tunnel is in an effort to stop the local cats from getting a free meal.

I had wondered how long it would take for the hedgehogs to use it,the answer is 2 minutes!!!

I had just come inside and took a quick look out the window and it was already in use.

The hedgehog is small and possibly not heavy enough to get through a winter but I am putting food and water out and it has made a nest in the hog house on the patio so hopefully I can get it through the winter.

It is an 'unmarked' hog and it has been around for a couple of weeks.My 2 marked hedgehogs have paint identification marks so I know who is visiting but these have been absent for a while.

Anyway here is a pic of the new station in use.
