Goodbye for now #hedgehog twitter! Today is my last day as #Ipswich hedgehog officer & what an inspiring project it has been to work on! So many people doing amazing things for hogs - long may this continue! I reflect on my time here: tinyurl.com/y4x9dm63 @suffolkwildlife 🦔💚

This is a big step backwards. You can make a difference by not using this chemical in your garden. Slugs are part of the garden’s natural cycle of wildlife and are eaten by frogs, toads and hedgehogs. (3/4)
The hog hunt! Great day at @Holywellspark family day. Tonnes going on (including eerily realistic dinosaurs walking around) - thanks to all that took part in our #hedgehog geocache trail! 🦔🔎

Terrible news - we have contacted DEFRA for comment. farminguk.com/news/metaldehy…
Excited to find this prickly fella on our #hedgehog #volunteer get-together last night. Beautiful! 🦔 This is the second time we’ve had some great sightings at The People’s Community Garden, Ipswich. Thanks @ActivLives @suffolkwildlife

Last week, we gave a Hedgehog Tracking workshop at @EdinburghUni! Check out the video & get in touch to find out where hogs are and aren't on your #university campus 👀
Contact [email protected] to join the #HedgehogFriendlyCampus campaign ❤️🦔🏆
#Ponds for all, big or small! Ponds are amazing for #wildlife. Have you got one in your #garden? Remember to make a shallow beach or install a ramp so #hedgehogs and other critters can easily get out!

Love this! A brilliant video showing hedgehog nest building in action 🦔🍂

Drama in the dining room! In a #citizenscience study by Brighton University, 52% of hedgehog interactions were aggressive. Read more about it here: tinyurl.com/yxewme52 Thanks to Terry for sharing his #garden #hedgehog #camera footage with us! 🍽🦔

Visit to Parliament yesterday for the @BiodiversityPs launch of the Wildlife Assessment Check tool hosted by Helen Hayes MP. It will help to improve the way protected or priority species are prioritised in planning decisions by developers to homeowners: ptes.org/free-wildlife-asses…
#Hedgehogchampion Sarah was excited to see her first visitor to the new #hedgehog feeding station! Have you made one for your garden yet? Find out how, here: britishhedgehogs.org.uk/wp-c… 🦔🍽 @hedgehogsociety @suffolkwildlife
Some brilliant advice. 1) Make your garden hog friendly 2) Find your nearest #hedgehog sighting (Check hedgehogs.ispywildlife.org/ in #suffolk) 3) Map out which gardens need to make hedgehog-sized fence holes & deliver leaflets or notes to these gardens 4) Hold a community talk 🦔🏆
Can you tell one neighbour about Hedgehog Street? 🦔

Metaldehyde slug pellets sales are banned after today! If you see any store selling them please remind them of their legal obligation to remove them from sale immediately. Gardeners stockpiles to be used by spring 2020 then total ban in place. gardenorganic.org.uk/news/me…

Just last week we installed a hedgehog highway in the fence at the back of Masterlord Estates property. @suffolkwildlife helpfully provided us with a plaque to ensure this hole never gets filled in or blocked off!

Now that summer is finally here (for the weekend at least!) remember wildlife might be feeling the heat too. Leave a shallow dish of water out, hedgehogs (and your other local wildlife) will definitely appreciate it! ptes.org/get-involved/wildli…
An #ipswich family have signed up to become #hedgehogchampions today, & are awaiting their resource pack to get started! Here is a entrance hole they’ve already made! Remember to log your #suffolk #hedgehog friendly gardens on our online map, here: hedgehogs.ispywildlife.org/ 🦔
