I remind you that the hedgehog is currently getting out of his sleep period and that he is feeding in order to make up for his summer weight.

Go to a supermarket or specialized store to buy cat food, and do not forget a saucer of clear water. Attention hedgehogs are very sensitive, it is absolutely necessary to avoid giving them milk.

The hedgehog helps to eliminate many pests for your plantations (snails, slugs, ...), making it an auxiliary for gardeners and growers.
The hedges and hedges of shrubs, the composts of dead leaves and the piles of hay make a garden welcoming. Hedgehogs will build their nests.
An artificial shelter can encourage them to settle.

Pay attention when you remove the piles of dead leaves or branches,
you risk destroying their home.

The hedgehog lives on average two years (on a life expectancy of ten years) because of cars, and many other causes of death, the different chemicals used in our gardens, food poisoning, swimming pools flush soil, pets, etc.

He can when he is attacked, use his quills by putting himself in defensive position (ball). This will be enough to deter most curious animals.

To be able to enjoy the company of these charming little animals, plan him to eat, a source of water, the possibility of taking shelter (dead leaves, branches, ...) and, knowing that it needs a large hunting ground, about three hectares, plan small openings in the walls of your garden.
