WE were sorry to read about the hedgehogs poisoned by slug pellets. We have always used pet/child-safe pellets as we don’t have hedgehogs but numerous birds and a dog.

Last year’s Vitax pellets ran out early this season, but we have been unable to find a replacement. We’ve tried Stewarts, Haskins, B&Q, Canford Nurseries, Wyevale, Plowmans, and In-Excess with no luck. A few days later,I found some organic ones at Canford Heath Asda, their own brand.

If any of the above garden centres are now stocking them, we would like to know.
