If you have hedgehogs in your garden, providing a hedgehog box may encourage
them to stay. The hedgehog box above is the optimum size. You can make it habitable by putting dry leaves but making
sure you dont block the air vent.I use my box to place the food in at night as only hedgehogs can get at the food as cats
cant get past the tunnel. The hedgehog box bottom left is used for filming the hedgehogs as it is fitted with a infra red
camera connected to my video and we can watch the hedgehogs on the tv
Hedgehogs live mostly on insects and other creatures that live on or just
below the soil surface. Beetles such as cockchaferers, weevils and dung beetles are the commonest food, but earwigs, slugs,
and caterpillars are almost as popular.
Their digestive systems have evolved to cope only with meat. So bread and
milk is no good for them
The first way to a hedgehogs heart is through its stomach and nothing is
better than a tin of cat or dog meat.I find dog food or cat food is both convenient and appreciated by the hedgehogs. The
mushier the better. I use pedigree puppy food.
