Stayed up again and finally caught Tristram at 3:50am. I couldn’t find anything wrong with his foot and even wondered if I’d caught the right hog as he shot off into the garden when I released him. He certainly seems far more agile than he was a couple of days ago.
You might not think it to look at him, but last night we got 89 ticks off the poor little chap! Hopefully he’ll uncurl enough tonight to get the rest off his face.
