NCGW Things to do
Make a hedgehog hut
Here’s what you’ll need!
Bricks or blocks
Wooden planks, perhaps fallen fencing
Logs and branches
Shrubbery and foliage
Hedgehog feed: you can use beetles, earwigs, worms, cat or dog food but be sure to avoid mealworms and milk as this is bad for them
Instructions:
- Choose the quietest location you can find, the corner of the garden or in a forest for example
- Use your sturdy materials to construct walls but be sure to leave an entrance
- Cover your framework with foliage, branches, and shrubbery to make it nice and dark for the new arrivals
- Fill the hut with plenty of leaves and shrubbery so that they’re nice and comfortable
- Leave your food in the corner for them to eat
