FAQs
Where should I place the hedgehog house in my garden?
Place the house in a sheltered area, away from direct sunlight, strong winds, and potential dangers such as roads. It should be located near natural habitats like hedgerows or shrubs.
What can I put inside the hedgehog house?
You can add dry leaves or straw to provide insulation and make the house more inviting for hedgehogs. Avoid using hay, as it can get damp and cause problems.
How often should I clean the hedgehog house?
Check the house periodically, especially after the hibernation season. Remove any old nesting material or debris as needed, but avoid disturbing any hedgehogs that may be using it.
Is the house waterproof?
The house is designed to withstand weather conditions, but it's best to place it in a sheltered location to provide the best protection against the elements.
Can I move the house once it's in place?
It is best to avoid moving the house once it is in place, especially if it is occupied. If you need to move it, do so carefully and gradually, and only if necessary.
Are there any hazards I should be aware of?
Keep the house away from roads and other areas where hedgehogs might be at risk. Make sure there are no open nets or other potential entanglement hazards nearby.
