Hedgehog numbers are rapidly declining across the UK and providing a refuge in your garden will help to protect hedgehogs from predators and disturbance. Underneath the textured brushwood finish there is a sturdy steel frame covered with a waterproof felt lining. The wooden entrance door is manufactured from FSC wood and forms a short predator defence tunnel, small enough to deter access by dogs or badgers. The edges of the house can be pegged down using tent pegs to provide extra security. To encourage hedgehogs to use the house site it in a quiet corner of the garden and cover with leaves for extra camouflage. The edges of the hedgehog house are finished with decorative rattan and the box is supplied in a decorative hedgehog gift box, making it an ideal gift.
