A check on the cameras this morning revealed no activity at all last night and the food remained untouched.
I'll continue to put some out for a few days.
There's been an awful lot of work being done on the inside of the adjoining semi and half the garden has been paved. The back half still has all the branches of the huge tree that was cut down, but the main trunk has still to come down. All this has still to be cleared. Whether this will have any effect on other hedgehogs I don't know.

That one could be in the house then. Maybe it's got enough body fat built up now for some hibernation.
Of course It's still possible that other's may come by too especially if they get disturbed with that work.
Probably be as well to keep an eye out in case any ever showed up during the daytime as they'd likely be benefiting from some quick help in that situation.

Yes, it's a sure sign a hedghog is in trouble if it turns up in the daytime.
The one picked up on the camera the night before last must be in the house, as it hasn't been picked up since. The last photo was of it going back in.
Neither camera picked up anything last night.

Right, it must like it in there then.
You've certainly developed an important sanctuary and also shown us a very good example of how to improve the design of a hedgehog's house.
