I set up cameras in my garden to watch hedgehogs – I was shocked to see they’re ‘always at it’
NATURE lover Sophie Jones set up a camera to watch hedgehogs — and was shocked by their non-stop bonking.
Sophie was astonished to see the regular visitors to her garden “always at it” when she watched back videos from her doorbell recorder.
And she has reached for earplugs at night as the spiky sex pests make such a racket that it’s keeping her awake.
Sophie, the director of a robotics firm, said: “Usually they’re cute and sweet.
“I’ve got five in my garden.
“I saw one hedgehog running around bullying the rest of the hedgehogs.

“Then I began to notice they were all having sex with each other.
“These rampant, horny hedgehogs are at it all of a sudden in my garden in time for spring.
“It’s like hedgehog porn here.
“They’ve been so loud they’ve kept me up at night.”

Hedgehogs usually mate between April and September but are most active around May and June.
Sophie, 35, of Plymouth, says the largest hedgehog — that she at first mistook for a badger — is the “main player” in the animal orgy.
She said: “I’m single so I’m not getting any myself but all these rampant animals around me are!”
