At this time of year, many people are tidying their gardens before the winter months. If you have left long grass, please do check it before mowing or strimming. Hedgehogs are seeking to build nests for hibernation, so a pile of leaves will be a welcome home for them. If you are building bonfires, please make sure you light it on the day you make it or move it before lighting. Please light it from one side only to allow any wildlife to escape.
Now is also a good time of year to feed hedgehogs. They need to gain enough weight to hibernate should the weather turn cold. Recently, this has not happened until December or January, so there should be plenty of time for even small hoglets to gain weight. Hedgehogs need to be 450g to successfully hibernate but they can gain over 100g in a month so please don’t rescue any autumn juveniles while the weather is still warm. Supporting them in the garden by putting out food and water will help them stay in the wild where they are meant to be. As always, any hedgehog out in the day may need help so please do call us if you are at all concerned about a hedgehog.
