What is it?
This is no ordinary hedgehog house. Designed by Sean McMenemy following years of research and assisting hedgehog carers across the UK, this hog house is packed with practical features.

How does it help?
Providing the hedgehogs in your garden with a safe space to nest, breed and hibernate is vital to protecting this wonderful animal. Fully insulated and watertight, this hedgehog house will provide a warm home for prickly occupants for many years to come.

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: What should I put inside a hedgehog house?
A: That depends on what you intend the house to be used for. If you are using it as a feeding station - lining the floor with a little newspaper will make tidying up quicker and easier. Additionally - only put the food inside with any water dishes close by but not in the interior. If you are hoping that a hedgehog will take up residence - they naturally use leaves, grass, straw and twigs for nesting. A little bedding material will encourage any potential habiter but do not go overboard - acquiring nesting material, transporting the material to the nest and building the nest are a key part of their natural behaviour in the wild and should be encouraged.
Q: How do you clean hedgehog houses?
A: Remove and destroy all old bedding material and clean the interior with boiling water and/or scrubbing with slightly soapy water or veterinary approved disinfectant. Allow drying to take place before reseating the roof and then add new, dry, clean hedgehog house bedding ready for the next occupant.
Q: How often should I clean my hedgehog house?
A: Once or twice a year is best as you will want to avoid disturbing any residents. Normally, April for a spring clean and then again in October to be ready for the winter.
