Hedgehog awareness week aims to highlight the problems hedgehogs face, and how we can help them.
There’s some easy, simple steps we can all do in our gardens to help our little prickly pals…
- Make a Hedgehog Highway in Fences – roughly 5” x 5” gaps in the bottom of fences or walls should do it, once created you can log these on the BIG Hedgehog Map at www.bighedgehogmap.org
- Create an undisturbed log pile that will offer shelter and food.
- Buy or build a Hedgehog house, click here to purchase our great homes, or see plans at www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/hedgehog-homes to make you own
- Offer food and water – click here for our range of hedgehog foods which provide a nutritious food source for the hedgehogs
- Check areas of your garden carefully before mowing or strimming.
- Reduce the use of pesticides and poisons in your garden
- Ensure there is an easy route out of ponds & pools.
- Create a wild corner – leave a corner or edge to go wild supplying shelter and natural food for hedgehogs in the form of bugs and grubs
