Great footage SM, always helpful to ID hedgehogs on nightcam who have been self-anointing

We could tell from the markings on the hedgehogs that show up on the night camera, that we had at least two visiting. Nice to get them both in the same video though:

Handy things trailcams.

If you watch the behaviour, that can also help ID a hoggie.

Also observe how the infrared beam interacts with the eyes, sometimes here is a different shine, but be carefull, it could be the angle of the light on the eye. Some of you may recall a couple  of years back we had a hoggie with one eye considerably darker than the other. War wound, hereditary disorder or infection, I've no idea, but it still managed to get about and fend off intruders.

We have another one eye'd hoggie, very looks like a juvenile, and just as boisterous.

Son/Daughter of one eye perhaps, which could suggest genetic, or possibly something else.

Thanks for the info Mike.
