Are you putting milk in a dish for them Dundee? Milk is on the list of foods to avoid -
Hedgehog Food List - What to Feed Your Hedgehog | Hedgehog Care 101
Never feed hedgehogs milk as it can cause diarrhoea; instead provide plain, fresh water in a shallow bowl.

Those two won't need milk where they have gone

Went for a walk up the Quarry Park today to check a few traps - 10 Sentinel possum traps and a few Snap rat traps - no possums but three rats - bait on Sentinels was stripped so installed more Snap traps - could be rats or mice

He might have been there for a week


A solid strike


A bit on the nose


Looks like this blue stuff might be good

How did they die @Dundee

This years ducklings staying around about 12 od must be the rats stoat and cat i killed with the doc 200 snap traps and 12 gauge 4 da cat

Nice work FatLabrador - birds soon learn when they are safe from predators

Went for a wander round the Park this morning - checked 10 stations - each has a Sentinel possum trap, Snap rat trap and a Philproof rat bait station - no possums, just five rats - possums have not recovered in the last year - but the rats are coming back
Proof that bait stations on their own don’t work - bait not touched in the Philproof bait stations but rats caught in a Snap trap on the same tree - but if you were a rat - why would you eat Ditrac rat bait when there is so much summer feed around - and blue stuff in a Snap trap

Silly young rat left his tail behind

Had a great day today - found a furry creature that had been to the Doc - I had this trap running continuously for about two years all over the property and never caught a ferret - decided to shift it two weeks ago from central positions, rear and side boundaries and now down to the boundary nearest SH2 - where I often see road kill stoats and ferrets - bingo - got one
I nailed the buggar on the post beside the Doc250 - maybe his mates will come looking and I read a few days ago that stoats are attracted to ferret scent - plenty round there!
Also been getting rats back up the Quarry Park - five a couple of days ago - but no possums - they have not recovered in the nine months I have been away - but looks the rats have recovered well

Good job @time out good read this. Do u enter the sawp comp

Coming back from river last night two kittens were on side of road,couldn't quite get a road kill.Too quick for the rifle.So I sent the dog into the bush and the feral moggy attacked my dog left her screaming like a girl and ran for home. Trap set now.

Ur dog didn't losse an eye then. My labs had some close calls with a possum scratching 5mm away from eye. And a magpie pulling his eye lid.
