Details

What is it?
Our Hedgehog Starter Pack includes all the essentials for looking after your garden hedgehogs. Complete with an excellent hedgehog house, original hedgehog food, food and water bowls, bedding and a guide to hedgehogs.

How does it help?
Hedgehogs enjoy roaming through gardens foraging for food and searching for nesting sites – especially during hibernation season.

Our Hedgehog Starter Pack kit helps you set up the perfect hedgehog area. The hedgehog house has a hinged inspection roof made from tough, weather-resistant materials, for durability year-round and easy access for cleaning.

The ideal place to put your hedgehog house is under a hedge or shrub and away from sunlight – fill with bedding and dried leaves to encourage visits.

Sean says:
“Hedgehogs were voted the UK`s favourite animal and everyone wants to see one in their own garden. For those lucky enough to have a sighting, we`ve put together a starter pack to help encourage them to re-visit and maybe even make your garden their home.”

Q: Can you give me some advice on where to put a hedgehog house in my garden?

A: Hedgehogs readily take up residence in appropriate hedgehog houses and for the best chances of success they should be situated in a quiet part of the garden, preferably against a wall or fence out of direct sunlight. Make sure the entrance is sheltered to avoid being exposed to drafts and strong winds.
Hedgehog houses may be used for winter hibernation, throughout the summer as lie-ups or, if you're very lucky, by a pregnant female making a nest to have her young in June.

Q: When is a good time to clean a hedgehog house?

A: The best time to clean and freshen hedgehog houses is during April when hedgehogs are fully active and before the breeding season starts. Remember to check to ensure there are no residents. Remove all the bedding and give it a good clean with hot water and a mild detergent. It's also a good idea to disinfect with boiling water or a suitable veterinary product to kill off any parasites and eggs that may be present. Finally, thoroughly rinse out with clean water and allow to air dry (with the roof open) on a nice warm day. Fill with fresh bedding and replace the roof and put back to its original situation.
Hedgehogs will use different summer sleeping quarters to their hibernation roost and the cleaning process will not upset or interfere with the hedgehog's natural patterns.

Q: When Should I stop feeding my hedgehogs?

A: Traditionally, it was thought that feeding hedgehogs throughout the winter could delay their hibernation and cause them harm. However, guidance on this matter has now changed, with experts advising people to continue feeding hedgehogs as long as they’re around to eat.
