Hands up if you're lucky enough to get hedgehogs in your garden? 🦔
Adding a hedgehog house provides a secure habitat for them to sleep, nest and hibernate without the threat of predators. We’ve rounded up our pick of the best buys here: http://spr.ly/6182WBDD0
Plus, here are a few ways to make it a welcoming place:
🦔 Make sure hedgehogs can get into your garden. If you have a fence or wall, make a hole that’s about 5”x5”, to allow hedgehogs to wander through, but that's small enough to deter most pets.
🦔 Leave a corner of your garden to go wild if you can, as this makes the perfect location to place a hedgehog house - plenty of vegetation provides shelter and privacy, as well as a habitat for their favourite food - insects.
🦔 Ensure there are plenty of leaves close to the hedgehog house, as they typically build their nests from materials that are nearby.
🦔 Give them a head start when it comes to building a nest by placing dry leaves, straw or hay inside the main chamber of the hedgehog house.
🦔 While you may want to tempt hedgehogs into their new home with food, it's not advised to do this. Hedgehogs don't like to eat in the same place they sleep and food can also attract predators. Consider building a separate feeding station instead.
