Tunnel together
Hedgehogs travel 2 to 3km a night looking for food or a mate so don’t let your garden be an obstacle course. A 13cm hole cut in the base of fences and walls provides a perfect tunnel and access route for hedgehogs to travel through.
Other ways to help hedgehogs
The different parts of the Help A Hedgehog pack have everything you need to know to start becoming a hedgehog hero but here are three top-tips to begin with.
Invite them to dinner
Meaty cat or dog food can be left out for hedgehogs along with plain water. Don’t offer cow’s milk as it’s harmful to their digestion.
Give them space
If you see a mother hedgehog with hoglets then try not to disturb them. The mother is liable to desert or even eat the young if she is disturbed.
