we have bats

Hi,
We bats in the soft evening but that's not the issue; we garden is a large expanse and we always get "drifting" hedgehogs. I've taken 2 so far down to the local vet (after watering/feeding overnight). We are clearly a "hog" hotspot" and i want to provide a safe feeding safe from foxes (we have those also, running through). Best C

I'm slightly confused by that sentence too @Hostafan1. Is it a missprint or auto correct or something @Christian3?

"drifting hedgehogs" - we see on the lawns during the daytime; take them in, feed/water and pass down to the vet. On several occasions of "white sacks" in the earlobes; they have been infected by fly larve - which use the host as a womb (quite unfortunate for the hogs).
I've built up a hog station and feeding station (thank you respondents), so they are not attracted towards the pond. However, the hover flies take care the flying - so where are these hogs coming from?
Hedgehog Hospital open! (A and E).

I would suggest investing in a wildlife/ trail camera and setting up in various locations over several days to see if you can solve the mystery.
It's worrying that you are seeing quite a few during the day, thanks for taking the time and trouble of taking them to the vet.
When your vet has finished treating them, l assume they are returned to your garden ?
