Thought I'd do a quick sticky post about these hedgehog houses because I have had amazing results this year, Just got a 3rd one. I have two hedgehogs hibernating in my current two, I have put the 3rd down the same unused entryway has my other one the 3 boxes are split between 2 different unused entry ways 1 down one and 2 down another. These hedgehog houses are highly recommended by rescue centres so I thought I'd give them a go and follow all the tips in getting them ready for hibernation. You can buy the house here - www.riversidewoodcraft.co.uk/hedgehog-houses/hedgehog-house-riverside-gold-plus-free-food/The first tip is fill the house FULL of hay until you can't get anymore hay into the box and its overflowing (i'll post a picture below of the new one I did today) Downfall to this means you won't be able to have cameras inside because you won't be able to see nothing second tip I was giving was try and have your house facing something like a fence, a wall etc this makes it seem more safe to an hedgehog. third is dont disturb it at all, You won't be able to see anything anyway because it should be overflowing with hay and you will make it seem less safe for the hog. Thought I would share the success I have had with these this year because the hedgehogs have seriously just took to them over my other boxes. Here is some extra tips and tricks for these houses off a well known hedgehog rescue - hedgehogcabin.info/buying-a-housePicture of how full of hay the box should be This picture below shows the tip of having a hard surface infront of the box mine have a hard surface infront and behind This picture is from today because I set the new one up

Will take a look Paul, I currently have a little Autumn baby staying and hasnt left the garden since he arrived, so he must be enjoying the hospitality I need to get him weighed and keep an eye on him.
