...Suffolk Wildlife Trust says that foxes "generally don't pose a threat to hedgehogs, but aren't completely benign"

 

Simone Bullion, senior conservation adviser, said: "There are rare incidents where foxes can prey on hedgehogs, using learned behaviour."

 

She said some foxes had been known to wait for a hedgehog to unroll from its defensive ball, before taking a bite at it.

 

"In this individual case, however, the fox does not appear to view the hedgehog as prey.

 

"Perhaps because of the fact that food is plentiful."
