In 2011 the first ‘State of Britain’s Hedgehogs’ report highlighted that several surveys had found that there had been a widespread loss of hedgehogs over the previous decade. In fact, the threat to hedgehogs is so great that in 2020 they were added to the IUCN Red List as ‘vulnerable to extinction’ in Great Britain. The reasons for this loss are many, such as loss of habitat or fragmentation and that pesticides are killing the insects they like to eat.
As we come into spring hedgehogs start to emerge from hibernation and traditionally this occurs between March and May. So, if you are lucky enough to have hedgehogs visiting your garden, what can be done to help them survive and thrive?
Install a hedgehog house
Hedgehogs can use their hedgehog house in different ways, for daytime naps, for having and bringing up babies or for hibernation.
You can buy your own hedgehog house here Driftwood Hedgehog House - We Are Fair Trade Ltd
