Early in the morning I took the dog for a walk and suddenly we saw one big hedgehog and five small. The big one started to walk away chirping every now and then. Only one of the babies followed. I thought why is she leaving the others. Then I heard chirping from the long grass on the right. There was another hedgehog mother hiding and calling for her babies. These two on the left were not in a hurry to obey. I could not go very near them as I had a dog with me.
