This week out of the blue I have two hedgehogs wandering around on the patio

They must have climbed down onto the top of the tortoise house from the side of the sunken pond and then into the patio which is a sunken patio cos the garden slopes upwards

I thought they had gone but have realised they are bedding in Harold the tortoise house under the hay in there

Harold is settling down to hibernate but I can’t close him down with them in with him

I have put some meat catfood out which I have seen one tucking into and with all the rain am hoping they have found some juicy slugs that I get plagued with

Now I,m not sure what to do now

Should I provide them with some shelter but not in with Harold .,or try to catch them and put up onto the next tier of the garden so they can wander off

They are cute but don’t want them to be at risk if I don’t do something :-(

I'd phone the nearest Wildlife trust and ask their advice.

I know someone that makes hedgehog houses.....
