Found a hedgehog snuffling around the bushes at work during lunchtime. Very weird as I could have sworn they’re nocturnal.
Hate to say it, but they are considered pests here and should be trapped and humanely killed :(
Damn, just read the Forest & Bird article about them. They really are predatory.
Well this one was in the middle of a carpark on Great South Road so it probably has a low life expectancy.
I've looked this up before, and there are situations where it's normal for them to be out in the daytime and not a cause for concern if they appear otherwise healthy. But largely they are nocturnal.
