Very busy here last night. Have joined all the vids together. Starts with garden cam and then doorcam.



Yes I know the grass needs cutting. It is just too wet at the moment.

Hi Placi, I think the doorcam one is the same hedgehog. That one feeds from the door feeder and path feeder around the corner. The domecam one may be a different one, but not sure. The food had also gone from small plot feeder also. No camera on that one yet.
I did notice that doorcam had a funny colour about it. May be on the blink. I did drop it last year and busted the battery door. Still got it to work though. But I see it don't seem to be right on the video.

Bad news.
The hog was put to sleep as the damage to his foot was too bad. Apparently it was strawberry netting tangled up and it had cut his foot off - the hog was walking on a stump and there was a lot of pus. Keith the "hogfather" said he thought it might have been like that for quite some time. He took some pics as he'd never seen anything like that. The hog couldn't eat and he couldn't un-ball him and said if he couldn't do it, nobody could.
I'm sad, but glad that I found him and he's been put out of his misery.

There was another hog out there last night, so they know to come to me for food
I like reading

Sad news Joomoo. At least it didn't suffer any longer and starve to death. :(
