Cor those prickles are sharp! I was looking out through the back door window when I caught sight of a large Hedgehog wandering around on our patio. I watched him / her as it tried to find it's way down on to our lawn. The Hedgehog didn't fancy dropping down onto the steps and neither did it fancy leaping off the patio onto the lawn so I went out to pick it up to place it onto the lawn. It was heavy and sharp. I think it weighed about the same as a large bag of sugar, so about 1 kg. I used a tea towel to lessen the impact of those needles and placed him on the lawn and left him to wander around.
We think it was a large male.
