Despite spending almost four months of the year in hibernation hedgehogs are still one of the most frequently spotted garden visitors.
If you wish to encourage them, providing a plentiful supply of food will help. Traditionally fed, bread and milk, is harmful to the hedgehogs' teeth and can even cause diarrhoea and dehydration so a specialist mix like our Hedgehog Food is an excellent substitute for their usual diet of beetles, slugs, caterpillars and earthworms. Also ensure a bowl of clean water is available too.
British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS)
Set up to help and protect hedgehogs, the BHPS give advice to the public on helping hedgehogs in the wild and in gardens, especially the care of hedgehogs particularly when injured, sick, treated cruelly or orphaned.

To make this specially designed hedgehog house
welcoming and habitable, part-fill the nest chamber with dried leaves. Place the box in a quiet corner and cover with soil or leaves. Do not disturb
the box while occupied. Hedgehogs will also use
the House for hibernation between November and
mid-March.

Hedgehogs really enjoy juicy insects so this
meaty mix is set to be a firm favourite. The varied
combination of ingredients offers a good balance
of nutrition and is especially good before and
after hibernation to boost energy levels.

This feeding house offers a safe eating place for hedgehogs. Place the house in a quiet sheltered area of your garden.
