Is this the real thing. in my back garden last night at 10:15, they were going at it for at least 15 mins before I went to bed and God knows how long after. So what are they up to, I don't even know how to sex them.

Should be no prob to a veteran like you JAYB, just mind you don't get PRICKLY HAND!!!! :D

Sexing hedgehogs!
To sex a hedgehog, gently stroke its back until it unrolls, then (on a table) slowly roll it onto its side with the flat of the hand,
so that the underside is visible.
- Males have a knob of skin (penis sheath) in the middle of their tummies, towards the rear end.
- Females: the vulva is immediately in front of the anus.

PS. I can just Imagine you Stalking them in your Garden!!!! :rofl:

Looks like two males sizing each other up to me, but I am not an expert on hedgehogs.

I see the usual suspects turned up:D In all seriousness I can't ever remember seeing two adult hedgehogs together before I just thought that someone might know without me having to do a lot of research!

Right , you can sex them in the usual when if you unroll them , they proberbly are mating but their funny ol things if they find something that smells or tastes intresting to them and go into a sort of trance sniffing and licking it , often spitting and licking themselfs i think its called self annoynting
