Q: Do you have any information on Hedgehogs?
A: Yes we have a fantastic book full of information how to help Hedgehogs in your garden click here
Q: Is the Hogilo big enough for a mother and her hoglets?
A: Yes, the Hogilo will have enough room to house young as well as an adult hedgehog.
Q: Can you give me some advice on where to put a hedgehog house in my garden?
A: Hedgehogs readily take up residence in appropriate hedgehog houses and for the best chances of success they should be situated in a quiet part of the garden, preferably against a wall or fence out of direct sunlight. Make sure the entrance is sheltered to avoid being exposed to drafts and strong winds.Hedgehog houses may be used for winter hibernation, throughout the summer as lie-ups or, if you're very lucky, by a pregnant female making a nest to have her young in June.
Q: How can I ensure the safety of my visiting Hedgehogs against natural predators?
A: With wildlife you cannot 100% guarantee the safety of your visiting hedgehogs.  Placing food in a shelter with an entrance hole of 4 and half inches will deter most predators. It is also a good idea to ensure that any shelter is weighted or pinned down so they cannot be tipped over by any larger or stronger garden visitors. Badgers will dig and climb so you may also wish to ensure your perimeter is as secure as possible, again leaving a small gap for the visitors.
