Hedgehogs are beloved UK garden visitors but face threats from habitat loss and road dangers. Here are five easy ways to help these spiky creatures thrive:
- Create Hedgehog Highways: Leave gaps in fences to allow hedgehogs to roam freely between gardens.
- Provide Food and Water: Offer our specialist Hoggy food and fresh water, especially during dry spells.
- Avoid Using Pesticides: Chemicals harm hedgehogs directly or reduce their insect prey.
- Make Safe Hiding Spots: Piles of leaves, logs, or dedicated hedgehog houses offer essential shelter.
- Check Before Mowing or Strimming: Hedgehogs often hide in long grass or compost heaps—check carefully before disturbing these areas.
By taking these steps, you support local hedgehog populations and enjoy the presence of this charming garden visitor.
