Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Hedgehogs in Orchards

Do wild hedgehogs actually eat fallen apples in an orchard?
While hedgehogs primarily eat insects and worms, they may occasionally nibble on fallen, soft fruits if insect food sources are low in late autumn.
How do quills protect a hedgehog from predators?
A hedgehog has thousands of stiff, hollow quills on its back that stand upright when it rolls into a tight ball, forming a protective barrier against potential threats.
