Provide a safe haven for your garden’s most helpful visitors with this Predator-Proof Hedgehog House. As natural nesting sites become harder to find, this sustainable shelter offers a secure space for hibernation, spring nesting, and protection from the elements.
Key Benefits
- Safety-First Design: Features an extendable entrance tunnel to deter badgers and dogs, with a built-in safety stop to prevent internal blockages.
- Eco-Friendly Build: Constructed from certified sustainable, untreated timber and topped with a heavy-duty, waterproof felt roof for year-round durability.
- Natural Pest Control: Encourage "the gardener’s friend" to stay; a single garden can host up to 10 different hedgehogs who naturally manage beetles, slugs, and caterpillars.
Placement & Care
- Ideal Spot: Position in a quiet, dry, and shady corner (like behind a shed) on flat ground.
- Perfect View: Face the entrance South or South-West to shield your guests from chilly North-East winter winds.
- Maintenance: Clean only in early spring (late March/April) using hot water and a brush, but only if the house is vacant.
- Setup: Fill with dry leaves and cover the exterior with twigs or foliage to help it blend into the landscape.
Specifications
- Dimensions: approx 62 x 29 x 19 cm (house and tunnel fully extended). Tunnel13 x 13 x 18 cm.
- Safety Warning: Never use oil-based stains or creosote, as the fumes are harmful to wildlife. Use only water-based preservatives, and only on the outside.
🏠 Pro tip: Not sure if anyone is home? Place a small, light twig across the entrance. If it’s moved by morning, you have a resident!
