The new one (much of it is made from recycled materials):
Inside view shows the entrance tunnel and the food dish I put in there:
Last year I had a camera fixed to the block of wood on top of the tunnel. Next job is to get that set up again. Will the Hedgehog take to the new feeding station? I need not have worried! First visit was last night:
Short video:
Mostly from the main video camera with a short close view from the trail camera. The sudden bright light is the IR LEDs on the trail camera switching on. Food offered is bought Hedgehog food plus well crushed peanuts and dried mealworms. Outside the house is a dish of water. Never put out milk for Hedgehogs as their digestive system cannot cope with it.
It looks very smart.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that the bright light didn't startle him at all. You are so kind to take such good care of all of the animals that come to your yard, John.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: If I remember correctly the material for the sides and bottom is made with recycled car seats. Whatever it is it's heavy and takes some drilling.
ReplyDeleteEllen: The light is infra red which looks bright to the camera but will probably be a faint red glow to the Hedgehog.
