Saving The Hedgehogs
NEW FOR 2025
WBC Heidi Hedgehog Box comes with a tunnel to keep out predators and a waterproof roof and feet to raise the box to keep the hedgehogs dry. Place the hedgehog box in a shady, quiet area out of the wind and rain, ideally surrounded by plenty of undergrowth. A corner of the garden for example. Leave a pile of dry leaves or straw outside the entrance that the hedgehogs can take inside to use for bedding. Clean the hedgehog box in spring and early autumn. Make sure the hedgehogs have left the box and are not hibernating or breeding. Avoid cleaning in May through to early September as this is hoglett season. Use hot soapy water and make sure that the box is well aired and dried after cleaning. If putting out food, leave it a couple of metres away as hedgehogs don’t tend to eat and sleep in the same place. Hedgehogs prefer specialist hedgehog food or tinned meaty dog or cat food and crushed cat or dog biscuits. Never feed hedgehogs bread, milk or meal worms as these are bad for them. Please make sure you secure the tunnel before use, with the two screws supplied. The Hedgehog is one of the UK’S most iconic prickly garden friends. This little nocturnal creature cause no harm to anyone. The Hedgehog is in decline and very much on the ENDANGERED LIST and needs protecting against the elements, predators and habitat decline. If you see a hedgehog in your garden, do provide a home and food to help her to survive and grow the numbers again. Also if you see a hedgehog out during the day, they could be in danger. Remem- ber also to leave out plenty of water.
