I wonder if it is a marking that was made during hibernation - perhaps the spines were right up against some hard surface.Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005463701837752973.post-43645393976767682232010-03-11T23:20:45.336+01:002010-03-11T23:20:45.336+01:00Lovely to see them so active and stocking up with ...Lovely to see them so active and stocking up with food.

We had one like that last Autumn, although the marking was on the top of its back.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917449553149390025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005463701837752973.post-71848220572376137692010-03-10T13:50:59.712+01:002010-03-10T13:50:59.712+01:00Maybe all that argie bargie is to do with mating?

I'm sure all your other hedgies will soon start to call around and visit you as well as they've all got your garden in their sat-nav :)twosiehedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972530472501847782noreply@blogger.com
