2am “babe wake up, there’s a hedgehog giving birth outside our office window”
I really wanted to know if we actually had any, because unfortunately the only ones I’d seen were splattered on the road, killed by motorists.
After a bit of sound ID-ing, it turns out there were two hedgehogs in a long mating ritual with a lot of huffing 😂
Two useful websites:
http://www.hedgehog-rescue.org.uk/sounds/noises.php has sound clips of hedgehogs to help identify distress versus dreaming or mating
