READING A H Cole's letter on July 1, concerning hedgehogs, reminded me of a day I was in the garden collecting up all the cuttings. When I came to tie the bin bag up, I saw something move inside. Tucked in the side of the bag was a baby hedgehog wrapped up tightly. I left the bag open for a few days and even threw some food in for it. It came out at night and had a walk round the garden and back into the bag in the day. We used to leave cat food on a saucer outside and we would find it stood on the dish lapping it up. In the end the bag started to smell, so I had to cut a hole in the bag to let it out. My three-year-old son was fascinated. A few days later it disappeared. We nicknamed it Mrs Tinkywinkle.
