Hibernating or just resting?

Shuffling about and curling into a ball if I try to move it.

Gently brush it away

Tricky. It's now shambled behind a huge stack of sheet metal I can't shift without moving a car which is up on axle stands and has no wheels.

First catch your flamingo

Great plan. Only one problem...

Step-by-step instructions

Funnily enough, that wasn't the problem.

New english word learned today: recalcitrant

crumpled newspaper

..what will this do?

prevents damage during shipping

So what happened to said hedgehog? :D

i think i've fucked up. what is this thing here at the back, underneath the filter of a miele dishwasher?

i've pushed it back inside the machine, and now its not sticking out at all. manual doesnt seem to say what this bit is.

edit: i ran a short cycle and it hasnt popped back out but neither is there water all over the floor

edit 2 - its the sump thermostat sensor. probably needs to be sticking out. FFS

I am curious as well!

Actually I just made a Hedgehog Thread, please feel free to share your experience there!

Oh, it wandered off after a while. Then it wandered back in again, but I spotted it, so I ran over and shooed it out of the door again with @Cycliste's old touring frame. Then I made a mental note to keep the garage door shut. Last I heard it was shuffling around in the garden under one of the rose bushes.

tl;dr hedgypig fine

This might help

You could build a mini-garage outside the actual garage for the hedgehog.

Cardboard box = prison to most animals.
Crumpled newspaper + ready to hibernate hedgehog might = contented hedgehog as it can make an insulating nest.

Ah, thanks.
I have just read up a bit on building hedgehog homes

Tin of cat food should provide an effective lure, then the traditional box on stick?

Hedgehogs need all the help we can offer them.
I can't remember the last time I saw a live one, and this year, I think I've only seen one road casualty.

Thanks. I ran a fully cycle with dirty dishes and they seem to be hot and clean. Can't be good having the thermostat in the wrong place as water must be ingressing there.

Lesson: never press stuff

Does adding rivnuts weaken a frame? I know the typical answer is "no, within reason" but I mean outwith reason, like 10 bottle cages (that's 20 holes drilled) on a cheap cromo frame. Would steel rivnuts, epoxied in be strong enough to do a) normal road stuff like dropping off curbs b) mountain biking?

(they're much cheaper than braze-in ones)
