Q: Do I always need to put bedding in a hedgehog house before I put it out in the garden?
A: It's not absolutely necessary, as the hogs will drag in their own bedding as required, however it's nice to know that you've given them a start.
Q: Why is hay more suitable than straw for use as hedgehog bedding?
A: Hay is made from soft grass, which the hogs will natuarally collect for bedding. Straw is hard and brittle which can splinter into sharp edges.
