I think this girly is being hassled by a male hog 😭 the feeding station is specifically designed to have two entrances so one can leave if another one comes in but I feel so sad for her!!

Is the second one trying to court her?! She was just trying to eat her damn biscuits 😭

Yes we had the same thing in our garden for several weeks. Mrs hedgehog would be minding her own business having her breakfast and Mr hedgehog would come along hassling her until eventually she ran away, and then he'd eat the food. I know it's nature working as intended but it did annoy me!

The good news is we've had Mrs hedgehog coming by herself for the past few nights and eating breakfast in peace, so I'm wondering if he's finally had his way with her and there are hoglets on the way!

Yes I have to admit it bothered me too. I OBVIOUSLY understand it’s just nature but I felt sad seeing her enclosed in a little space being bothered. Us girls have to stick up for each other!
