My first baby hedgehog of 2014!

On checking my trail cam footage this morning I find I have a new hedgehog visiting and it's a baby!

Footage here:-  http://youtu.be/hoZX5MszlwE

So hedgehogs in the area are definitely breeding successfully.

I think the hedgehogs must have bred quite early this year (mine did not hibernate all winter) which is good news as the babies should have plenty of time to be a really good size to get them through next winter.

Also from the trail cam footage I am trying to identify my hogs.I know I have 2 (and baby makes 3!) and there is possibly another.I also know one is a male as he very conveniently had a good scratch right in front of the camera and there was no doubt as to its gender!!
