Noticed food was disappearing but suspected rats/cats as the weather has been so dire ... had a calmish night to set up trailcam ... imagine my delight at discovering this footage
The season has begun! Woo-hoo!!!

Lot to learn
WendyBartter said:Well they certainly never eat those big ones, I did read a long while back that they only eat very small black young'uns!
That doesn't surprise me about hoggies not eating the larger slugs, after all, they only have little mouths, though I'm sure they'll pack enough food in when they need to...

Must be getting on for three weeks now since I last captured a Hoggie visiting ... one this morning but only passing through!
Such a short visit so I slowed down the clip for a decent view
Visits by this one Hoggie getting more frequent plus he/she is eating all the food again ... still hoping for baby hogs
