They have become an iconic part of our British countryside, but their numbers are dwindling. It's now estimated that the hedgehog population in the U.K is less than a million. We all need to do our bit to help provide new habitats for our local hedgehogs that urbanisation and intensive farming have destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHedgehogs will usually begin hibernation in November under an excellent thick hedge or log pile. With the loss of such vital natural habitat, it's up to us to provide an alternative in our gardens. The easiest and most successful way to do this is to buy a hedgehog house.

One of the very best ways to encourage hedgehogs into your garden is to leave food and water out regularly.
Our specially designed Hedgehog Water Bowl is a convenient, hygienic way to offer water for hedgehogs. Finished in an attractive green glaze and made from hi-fired frost-resistant ceramic. The ceramic bowl should be washed regularly for good hygiene.
Remember to always leave out drinking water for the hedgehogs as well as food. Never offer milk as hedgehogs are lactose intolerant.
