This premium wooden hedgehog house is designed to give wild hedgehogs a safe and sheltered space in your garden throughout the year. With a two-chamber layout—one for entry and one for nesting—it helps keep the inside dry and protected, offering a secure environment for feeding, resting, breeding, and hibernation.

By placing this house in your garden, you’re helping hedgehogs stay safe from predators and harsh weather. It’s an easy way to encourage them to settle in your outdoor space while naturally controlling pests like slugs and beetles. Ideal for both rural and urban gardens, it supports biodiversity and local wildlife.

For best results, place the house in a quiet, shaded area such as under a bush, hedge, or behind a shed. Avoid spots that are in direct sunlight, prone to flooding, or often visited by pets. Add bedding such as straw, dry leaves, or hay to help hedgehogs build a comfortable nest.

This hedgehog house is suitable for year-round outdoor use. Its sturdy construction and sloped entry help protect against wind and rain. Clean the house once a year in early spring—after hibernation but before breeding season. Always wear gloves and check it’s empty before handling.

You can leave meaty cat or dog food and fresh water nearby, especially in spring and autumn. Avoid milk and bread. Most pets leave hedgehogs alone, but dogs should be supervised to avoid any disturbance. Wildlife cameras can be used near the house to watch hedgehogs without disturbing them.

If you see a hedgehog out during the day, it may be hungry or unwell. Offer water and contact a local rescue if it looks injured or lethargic. The house can be placed at any time, but autumn is ideal to help hedgehogs prepare for hibernation.
