Hedgehogs appeared near our house. I stumbled upon them by accident when I came to feed the cats. The hedgehogs have chosen the same tree under which I placed the bowls for the fluffies. As it turns out, every day after sunset, the mother hedgehog brings her babies to the cat bowls, and they eat the food I left behind. The hedgehogs were not afraid of people, they were busy eating, they did not even notice me. Under the tree, I began to leave food not only for the cats, but also for the prickly family.
Soon the kids and their mother became tame. As soon as the hedgehogs heard me begin to rustle the packages, they immediately came to the tree. Hedgehogs ate cat food with pleasure, but I brought a separate bowl for them, placing it deeper in the grass.
I always brought food in the evenings, and so it was on this day. As I was about to return home, I heard the kitten peeing. I walked around the yard and tried to call the baby, but no one came out to my cart. Deciding that the sound was coming from one of the apartments, I went home.
In the morning, under my window, someone began to rustle loudly. I went to check outside and saw hedgehogs, next to them was a tiny kitten who was eating from the bowl that I set for the prickly family. As soon as he noticed me, the kitten got scared, but instead of running away, he hid behind a hedgehog. The kid was clearly new to our yard, which means that hedgehogs showed him where to find a bowl of food.
I was very surprised, I did not even think that hedgehogs are capable of such behavior. As it turned out, the hedgehogs were not at all afraid of the kitten, and later I saw that the family made friends with one of my adult wards. When the kitten saw that the hedgehogs were not afraid of me, he went into my arms, and meanwhile the family started eating.
