Providing shelter for hedgehogs gives them a place to hibernate during the winter, somewhere they can be safe, warm and out of harms way. This hedgehog house with a pitched pent roof is suitable for such purpose. Requiring simple home assembly, the double chambers of this box offer extra protection to the hedgehog inside.
Made from 1cm thick wood (untreated - which is best for the hedgehogs as it emits no fumes), the hedgehog house is sturdy and has a large opening at the front so the tenant can get in easily, but small enough to keep foxes and other predators out. The sloped roof is made from bark, allowing it to blend in with surrounding flora, with only the cute Hedgehog insignia to the left of the door giving a clue as to who is inside. The lid can be lifted off for easy cleaning and maintenance of the box, and when in situ we recommend placing a stone or other weight on top to keep it in place.
Key benefits:
Help deter predators: Solid wood floor stops foxes digging their way in during hibernation, and the walled chamber inside adds an extra layer of protection

Natural bark wood roof:Â This blends in with surroundings so the habitat does not stand out
Solid timber construction: The house features 1cm thick durable walls and comes flat packed, requiring simple home assembly
