I may have said goodbye to a hedgehog yesterday but my garden is still popular with the local urban wildlife. Just after breakfast this morning I looked out and spotted two foxes frolicking in the autumn leaves!
Maybe Herbert has spread the word about this garden having a good source of munchies. I don’t expect them to stick around for long though – these two will probably be travelling via royal mail as they’ll be popping up in my shop with the next batch of toys.
A quick Herbert update: he’s definitely still around – I heard snuffling in the bushes late last night and this morning it looks like he’s pulled some of the extra bedding I’d left scattered around into his little house.

First of all well done on the fantastic job you’ve all done on Herbert Sherbert. He did look a very healthy hoggy by the time you’d fattened him up.
Fancy having foxes too – they look so tame xx
