hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 03/04/2026And what does 'When you can't feel them' actually mean? Sounds very iffy to me!!!! 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I think he would have taken Levi if Lord Sugar hadn't already fired him! 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 07/03/2026PS Love your photo of the four hedgehogs scoffing their food! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I never realise quite how much I've missed them until they come back. The local foxes, cats and birds finish off the debris here - and the occasional rat, but the foxes keep catching them. I've twice picked up a fox on camera with a rat in its mouth! 210
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Great stuff. 🙂 My hog restaurant now re-opens for the 2026 season with a big serving of Brambles hedgehog food! 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Yes, I agree he/she looks in good shape. My hog restaurant re-opens for the 2026 season with a big serving of Brambles hedgehog food! Fingers crossed yours turn up soon. 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 07/03/2026First hedgehog sighting of the year! Great to see that at least one of our local hogs survived winter, especially after all that relentless rain. #hedgehogs #urbanwildlife #Derby 360
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Just to confuse matters, it's spelt Big Zuu. Unfortunately, though, that's all I know about him! 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Has anybody else noticed that one of the women seems to have her left hand permanently glued to her hip, with her elbow sticking out? (apologies, I can barely remember any of their names yet). She's walking around it as if she's trying to secure a modelling contract!#TheApprentice 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Agreed! I struggled through last week's, but won't be watching again. 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 06/02/2026I watched last week and it was one of the most boring shows I've ever seen. Hard to imagine how they could make it so dull! 000

hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 14/11/2025When the bird feeding takes a nightmarish turn... I counted 50+ feral pigeons at one point. No more seed until they've lost interest in my back garden! #thebirds #Hitchcock #urbanwildlife #Derby 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 25/10/2025This spring, I had one drag the kitchen paper from the floor of the water station into the hog house. A few weeks later he had a springclean and pushed out some of the hundreds of leaves that he'd dragged into his nest. He looked faintly irritated, as if somebody else had put them there! 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/10/2025I'm upset and I'm a Brit! It's just truly shocking. 120

hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Can I just ask what the food is? They look like mealworms? 000
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Evidently some training is required at my end! At least I did find one of the 3 lost bowls on some rough ground near my house - the fox probably dropped it after all the food fell out. 🤣 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Good job you used a big, heavy bowl. My neighbour has lost 5 bowls in 3 weeks - she puts food out for any stray cats, but the foxes also eat it and keep making off with the bowls. She also inadvertently used my hedgehog water bowls to put food in when I was away and I lost 3 out of 4 as a result! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 29/09/2025The kitten biscuit buffet and H2O bar were popular last night! Second clip follows in replies... #hedgehogs #foxes ##urbanwildlife 130
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 27/09/2025That indignant little staccato dance they do when faced with another hedgehog - love it! 020
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025I left the front as a meadow, too, but will have to get it all cut back when I return from holiday in September. If I'd kept the front lawn short, I would have fooled her, as you can't see the back from the road. 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Thanks! I counted 15 different flowering plants and they were always busy with butterflies, bees, hover flies and other insects that I couldn't identify. Lots of cinnabar moth caterpillars on the ragwort, too. 🙂 020
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025But I have hogs and foxes visiting the front garden, who won't be put off by a short lawn, when kitten biscuits, eggs and water await them! 100
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025I'm stuck in a rented house after my house purchase fell through and can't wait to have my own place where I can do that kind of thing. My landlady found out I had let the lawns go to meadow for the summer and complained. 🙄 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Wow, amazing catch - both by the fox and you! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 23/08/2025It's great that you have a neighbourhood so engaged with our little spiky friends! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Ah, yes, thanks, I can see that now. For some reason, my mind had interpreted that shape as a fish... the kind of strange pale fish that you get in very deep, cold waters - so I'm not sure how I thought a fox had caught one of those! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 19/08/2025What is that she's holding?!?! I had a fox in my garden recently that looked as if it had a pack of ham or some such in its mouth - something very flat and shiny with what looked like a barcode on it! 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Fortunately he may well not have fleas. They spend a huge amount of time scratching just as part of their regular grooming. I have watched them do it for up to 20 minutes when they first get up! He seemed to be a healthy hog, so no need to stress him by taking him to a vet. 🙂 110
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 19/08/2025That noise is fairly typical of a female hedgehog expressing her disapproval of a male hedgehog trying to woo her! Although she isn't happy, she is still pretty much the boss, because unless she agrees to it, that relationship isn't going anywhere! He can't work around her spikes without her help. 🤣 010
hellyb11.bsky.social @hellyb11.bsky.social · 14/08/2025Why on Earth didn't Daren just say that the stall had a red and white striped frontage?! 100
