Hedgehogs -

just been down the garden & found not 1 but 2 dead hedgehogs. How strange, they were massive ones.
We are new to this house, been here about a month. Never seen a hedgehog before & suddenly 2 dead ones. Wonder why?

NOW FOUND 2 MORE DEAD ONES - 4 IN TOTAL ALL DEAD

That's what worries me.. Is someone putting poison down somewhere?
The cats wouldn't have brought them here, they were really big & too heavy for my cats, also far too prickly.

The packaging on the Slug Pelets does say not use near cats and dogs as the pelets can be harmful

they don't eat slugs eraze, but is it slug pellets, or is someone putting poison down? Most slug pellets are cat/dog friendly now anyway.

UPDATE - just found another 2 smaller ones, also dead - that's 4 dead hedgehogs.
