Barney sat on the scales peering up at Eva. He was plump and healthy, ready for a spot of adventure. “No, don’t do that!” Eva said as she saw him poke his nose over the edge of the brass dish. She put her gloved hand out just in time to stop him from leaping on to the counter below. “Whoa, well caught!” Jen called as she came in. “Do you need any help?” “No thanks.” Carefully, Eva put the lively hedgehog back in his cage. “Barney weighs 600 grams. That means he’s ready!” “Yes, but we’re not.” All week Jen had been making the nest boxes. She’d finished one – a wooden box 50 centimetres square, but still had to construct the entrance tunnel for the second. Meanwhile, Mark’s team had built the fence. “We have to go back to the farm tonight to finish the run,” Eva told her. “It should be done by tomorrow, which is Sunday, so the builders won’t be there.”
