Details

The Igloo Hedgehog House provides hedgehogs and other mammals a safe haven from the many hazards they face on a daily basis such as gardening tools, domestic pets and other predators.

Comprising of a round painted steel frame with a water-proofed roof it is covered with a brush wood finish decorated with withy bands. Made from natural materials - appearance can vary due to seasonal availability.

The Hedgehog Igloo has plenty of space inside and can accommodate family groups such as mother and hoglets.

Able to contain both a feeding bowl and water dish this shelter can also be used as a covered feeding station.

With a small entrance tunnel designed to deter predators the Igloo is designed for shelter but can be used for hibernation if additional brushwood cover is provided over the Igloo in winter.

Place under a hedge, large shrub or similar concealed place, out of the prevailing wind with leaves or foliage around the house for further camouflage. Add some dry grass or leaves inside as nesting material. Can be anchored down for extra security.

A: Yes we have a fantastic book full of information how to help Hedgehogs in your garden click here
Q: Is this Hedgehog House suitable for hibernation?
A: No as it stands the Igloo Hedgehog House is designed as a shelter/retreat and NOT suitable for hibernation. You can however raise the shelter off the floor and cover it with further insulating material ie carpet, tarpaulin etc to add additional insulation for the colder months.How do I anchor down the Igloo Hedgehog House?The best way to secure the house is to use some metal pegs.  Either tent pegs or the pegs used to hold garden mesh in place.
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.
