Five simple steps to transform gardens into ‘hedgehog havens’.
The five tips for creating a hedgehog haven in your garden are:
- Let areas of garden grow wild to mimic hedgehogs’ natural habitat
- Provide shelter in the colder months through logs piles and compost heaps
- Use garden chemicals such as slug pellets carefully or preferably not at all.
- Leave out water and foods such as boiled eggs, chopped nuts and sultanas (not milk).
- Consider planting hedgerows to help hedgehogs move between gardens or remove a brick at the bottom of a brick wall to allow access.
