Deluxe Hedgehog House

Make your garden a sanctuary with the bestselling deluxe Golden Brown Hedgehog House from Riverside Woodcraft. Handcrafted in the UK from solid timber, this pre-assembled shelter features a predator-proof tunnel and a fully lockable roof to give native hedgehogs a safe, warm, and dry environment for year-round hibernation.

Key Features

• Eco-friendly materials: Handcrafted in the UK from local sustainably sourced wood, with 100% recycled plastic roof that is waterproof, rot-proof, and UV-resistant.
• Secure hibernation: A predator-proof entrance tunnel and a lockable carabiner latch system provide complete safety and privacy from animals and curious humans!
• Ready to use: Arrives fully assembled and treated with a wildlife-safe preserver, featuring ventilation gaps for airflow and built-in anti-drip grooves.
• Spacious accommodation: 20 x 52 x 40 cm.

Usage & Maintenance 

• Optimal placement: Situate the habitat in a peaceful, shaded corner of your garden protected from intense sunlight and strong prevailing winds.
• Seasonal insulation: Lightly pack the interior with dry leaves or hay and camouflage the roof with twigs; the hedgehogs will do the rest.
• Leave them be: Leave food and water nearby but never disturb a hibernating hedgehog, as waking consumes critical winter energy; use a wildlife camera to safely watch them instead.
  
• Annual maintenance: Clean the vacant unit in early autumn using warm water, then apply a non-toxic, wildlife-friendly wood stain to the exterior to maintain its weatherproofing.
