The Recycled Plastic Hedgehog Feed & Care is designed to offer hedgehogs a safe and long-lasting refuge and has become the British Hedgehog Preservation Society's choice on their online shop for people looking to rehabilitate hogs.
The swivel lid provides easy access inside the Hogilo for cleaning, feeding or tending recovering hedgehogs. An overhanging roof and porch give protection against the rain, and the raised battened feet prevents rot.
The entrance tunnel is just smaller than a 5-inch square. Inside the porch, there is a further maze style entry door before the inner sanctuary is reached.
Made from recycled agricultural plastic on a plywood skeleton in our Gloucestershire Workshop. The screwed construction techniques give strength and longevity, ensuring the habitat can withstand crushing or strimming.
Locate the Hogilo within cover, out of the prevailing wind. Pile leaves or foliage around the house to further camouflage it. Place cut short lengths of dry grass or leaves inside as nesting material.
Remember, hedgehogs are wild creatures; hedgehog houses should be covered over the winter for insulation. We recommend that houses are only checked and maintained annually; early summer is best.
