It may sound a strange question,but do hedgehogs climb

Hi jugsjugs! I know they live in burrows underground. I don't think they climb well and they certainly don't fly. I would say they live below your garden.

Since it is a baby, perhaps it squeezed through a small gap. I do not think they can climb. My other thought would have been that it dug under the fence.

I'm sorry, jugs, I cannot help you. However, I'm curious to know what happened to the baby hedgehog.

Hedgehogs can burrow underground a fair distance. They cannot climb at all.

maybe they dug a hole from under the fence, and came out on the other side. or, maybe they did climb it.

Hi jugsjugs! i know the hedgehogs can burrow under the ground and they can go inside your garden by making a burrow from outside. They are like hamsters i think, so that is the most possible way they can go inside your garden. Maybe you can look for a burrow if you need to look for evidence. We dont have that kind of animals here in our country or its not common though my neighbor have one as his pet. I never get to ask him where he got it but its the first time i saw a hedgehog.

I don't think you have a hedgehog in your garden. Interesting A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to North America; those in New Zealand are introduced.

We have the same thin in our garden. There are fences down to the ground yet I have seen hedgehogs crossing the garden many times. The guy next door to us sees them in his garden also and they are the same ones because there is one baby one that walks around. I think that they can get under the smallest gaps under fences. I have also found an article all about them on his site, that may answer a lot of questions for you. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1080813/They-run-climb-Olympics-A-new-book-reveals-surprisingly-sporty-hedgehogs.html - They are truly fascinating little creatures though. _Derek

Maybe it dig a tunnel under the fence instead? hehe ^_^ I'm not suprised if they can climb because after all, most animals are kinda flexible, when it means survival, so why not?? PLus, there are things for it to hold as it climbs, so i think that they do really climb, but at the same time, keep falling off too?? hehe

hi jugsjugs maybe the baby hedgehog burrowed under your fence.,When we still lived in eldorado gardens we had a possum who crawled under our redwood fence on our patio and would get into our garbage and scatter it all over the yard. I got up once at two in the morning and found him into into our garbage.,I grabbed the broom and sort of shoved him out and he could just barely squeeze under our fence. We had the unfortunate situation there of not enough dumpsters so were often forced to leave our garbage pails in our patio until there was space in the dumpster. there were one hundred families there and only twenty dumpsters, such a stupid situation indeed. so I would bet hedgehogs probably burrow under things like gophers do.Did the hedgehog eat any of your garden? I don't 'know a whole lot about them.

I think they dig more than climb. But could something like a cat or a large bird brought this inot you yard and then lost it there. This happens around here. One time we found a baby wild duck another time a baby sknuk, we left that one to take care of it's self, but it sure was cute.

I have not even idea about which type of animal they are speaking, already I have seen several discussions in those who speak about the hedgehogs, and I to the animal only one that I know with this name it is the sea urchin, lives in the ocean, but for everything what I have read in all these discussions it is not the animal that I know. I imagine that it must be of the family of the rodents, please extract this great doubt that has created me.
