Collection: Hedgehog Houses

Hedgehogs have long been appreciated by gardeners for eating snails, slugs and other unwelcome insects. It is also a joy to watch these prickly visitors in action. As well as offering them food, another way to welcome them is by providing them with a safe space to nest and shelter such as a hedgehog house. Hedgehog numbers are in decline, so it is important that we do what we can to help them thrive.

What is the natural habitat of a hedgehog?

In the wild, they look for deep cover under brambles, in hedgerows found in fields and farmland as well as in woodlands and parks. As natural nesting sites are becoming less available, domestic gardens have become an option that has been more readily taken up. They collect dry leaves, grass and bracken to make their nests. In our increasingly tidy and well-manicured gardens, these natural and safe spaces can be hard to find – but the solution is at hand! A hedgehog house will give them a space to shelter from the elements, hibernate, rest and raise their young.

We supply a great range of hedgehog houses suitable for hedgehogs needs and we also supply wild hedgehog bedding in case natural bedding materials are scarce within your garden.

Our hedgehog products include:

• Homes for Hedgehogs Starter Pack
• Hedgehog House with Hinged Inspection Roof
• Dome Hedgehog House
• Hedgehog Care Home/Hogilo
• Hedgehog Retreat
• Hedgehog Haus
• Schwegler Hedgehog Dome
• Hedgehog Food Bowl
• Hedgehog Water Bowl
• Hedgehog Bedding
• Hedgehog Highway Sign

What size should a hedgehog house be?

Your hedgehog house should be large enough to accommodate at least one hedgehog and some insulation materials for the winter, with enough space for your guests to move around comfortably. If you`ve noticed a sow and her hoglets in your garden, you might want a larger hedgehog house.

In terms of width and depth, aim for a minimum of about 35-40 cm. In height, around 20 cm is enough. It’s important that the entrance is no larger than 15 cm by 15 cm so that larger animals don’t try to use it.

Will a hedgehog house attract rats?

Rats will take an interest in hedgehog houses as well as any food you are putting out for your visitors/residents but there are some things you can do to deter vermin.

• Grow some mint: rats hate the smell of it. Alternatively, spray peppermint oil by the hedgehog house
• Leave food out in the open, where rats will be reluctant to eat it
• Supervise feeding time, as hedgehogs won’t be as deterred by your presence as rats will be
• Clear any unused food away immediately
• Consider feeding hedgehogs with insect-based food, which rats are less keen on

Where should I place my hedgehog house?

If you place your hedgehog house in your garden during the spring or summer months, this will mean it is ready for when hedgehogs are looking for a place to hibernate during the winter.

Place your hedgehog house in a quiet part of your garden, ideally under cover against a wall, fence or bank. Place the box out of direct sunlight but make sure the entrance does not face north and is out of the wind. It can take a while for hedgehogs to take up residence, though we have reports of them even being occupied on the first night.
