Prickles the hedgehog ?

Alfie saw a hedgehog at the bottom of his garden! It was eating the bread that he put out for the birds so then Alfie’s mum went outside and gave it some cat food instead because she said that bread isn’t good for hedgehogs tummies.

Alfie’s Mum said that it might be a mummy hedgehog and that hedgehogs usually sleep in the daytime. It went into a bush at the bottom of the garden so maybe it lives there! Alfie is going to keep an eye on it to make sure that it is safe and healthy because sometimes hedgehogs that are out in the daytime are poorly but Alfie thinks this one seems ok. They have named it Prickles the hedgehog ?

  1. Good job looking out for Prickles the hedgehog Alfie! ?

    This website has lots of good tips too http://www.hedgehogstreet.org

    We leave out water for wildlife in our garden, but we haven’t been as lucky as you in spotting a hedgehog (we sometimes have a visiting frog! ?)

  2. I love this story Alfie! Well done for helping Prickles. We have been learning about how to make our garden more wildlife friendly. We have a pet cat, so leaving out cat or bird food food probably wouldn’t help to attract any visitors! Instead we have planted some flowers and lavender for the bees and butterflies. We also created a little log pile for insects…or anyone else who may wish to move in!
