There are 17 species of hedgehog native to parts of Europe, Asia and Africa.
Their name first came into use around 1450 and was derived from the Middle English heyghoge – heyg (hedge) because it frequents hedgerows and hoge, for its piglike snout. The collective name for a group of hedgehogs is an array.
Hedgehogs enjoy a varied diet of worms, beetles, slugs, caterpillars, earwigs and millipedes. If you wish to encourage hedgehogs in your garden, a good way is to put out some meat based dog or cat food, however they are lactose intolerant so do not give them milk, just water.
With hedgehog numbers dwindling from as many as 36 million in the 1950s to around a million now, they need all the help and support we can give.
This solid wood box, with animal friendly preservative, is an ideal feeding station for hedgehogs. It has no floor, but a roof made from recycled plastic providing a dry, safe environment for hedgehogs to take shelter and feed in comfort. The entrance is 12cm square, reducing the risk of predators gaining access.
If you wished to provide additional comfort, you could place the box on a slate or garden tile and add a few leaves to the interior. Positioned in a quiet spot in the garden, perhaps under a bush, to encourage a visit from a hedgehog.
Excelllent
07 April 2020 by: TeresaI bought this after the lid on my plastic one split. It's very sturdy and heavy and I like the fact it doesn't have a floor, so I can just put newspaper down on the ground under it for ease of cleaning. The only downside is that there isn't much room behind the partition to put a bowl - I don't have any bowls small enough so I've put the food directly onto the paper until I can find something that will fit. I would buy again!

30 July 2019 by: joyce barwoodwell used by hedgehog and I am sure if it had internet he would say 5*. Arrived very quickly, well packed, well worth the money.
lovely product
08 July 2019 by: joyce barwoodI was a bit dubious initially as it was smaller inside than I had expected and couldn't fit food dish and water dish in together, I left water outside, planning to use hog house if feeder station got ignored, but no it was used straight away first night. I have had several bird tables from riverside woodcraft (whom made this feeder station) so I knew I was onto a winner with it. Going to last many years. very pleased with it and obviously so is my night time visitor.
