Show Notes
In gardens across the Northeast, a hungry hedgehog keeps hitting dead ends! Fences are blocking every route on their nightly forage for food. This seems like the ideal job for nocturnal Wildlifers Bat and Fox, along with Ranger Rae and Roxy. Will they link up enough gardens to get a proper highway for the hedgehog to get around? Production
