Wasn’t sure how to google this so came here:

I like to sit in my garden for about an hour every evening, over the past couple of months this big ‘ol hedgehog has been loitering around but only recently (in the past week) he’ll just come and sit directly beside or under my chair and chill. He grooms himself, sleeps or just wonders near me. My question really is if he might be being territorial or just a cutie? I don’t know anything about hedgehog psychology and thought someone here might?

He definitely knows I’m there because he looks at me if I move but there seems to be absolutely no fear, he doesn’t run away or jump if I stand up or move suddenly, it all just seems very strange to me.

Any insight would be much appreciated!
