Hedgehog Home FSC1 | Safe Hibernation and Nesting Box

Provide a sanctuary for the "gardener’s friend" with the Hedgehog Home FSC1. As hedgehog populations continue to decline across the country, providing a safe and sheltered space in your garden is a vital way to help these wonderful creatures thrive, hibernate, and raise their young.

Key Features and Benefits

• Safe and Secure Entrance: Features an internal safety entrance (staggered baffle) designed to prevent predators like foxes or badgers from reaching the hedgehogs inside.

• Weatherproof Design: Equipped with a waterproof felt roof to keep the internal nesting area dry and cozy during the wet winter months.

• Sustainably Sourced: Made from FSC certified timber, ensuring the wood used is harvested from responsibly managed forests.

• Year Round Utility: Perfect for summer nesting and raising "hoglets," as well as providing a sturdy space for winter hibernation.

• Compact Footprint: Measuring 19 by 40 by 40 centimeters, it fits perfectly into quiet corners, under hedges, or behind garden sheds.

Kimi’s Expert Verdict: A Must Have for Every Wildlife Garden

At Kimi’s Pet Emporium, we believe that looking after our local wildlife is just as important as caring for our pets. This Hedgehog Home is one of our favorite garden additions because it is functional and built to last.

The Gardener's Best Friend Hedgehogs are nature’s pest controllers; they love to eat slugs and snails that might otherwise damage your plants. By installing this home, you are encouraging a natural balance in your garden. We recommend placing the house in a quiet, shaded area and "camouflaging" it with a few handfuls of dry leaves or twigs to make it even more enticing for a passing hedgehog.

Hibernation Safety The internal "maze" entrance is a brilliant safety feature. It stops larger animals from getting a paw inside, giving the hedgehog the peace of mind it needs to sleep soundly through the winter. If you want to help reverse the decline of these iconic British animals, this home is the perfect starting point for your suburban or urban garden.
