The Hogilo offers a safe and long lasting refuge for hedgehogs and looks great in the garden.
A swivel lid provides easy inside access for cleaning, feeding or tending recovering hedgehogs (specialist carers only - you should not normally disturb a hedgehog in its nest). An overhanging roof and porch gives protection against the rain and the raised battened feet prevents rot.
The narrow entrance tunnel (approx 12.5 cm square) provides protection from predators, and once inside the porch there is a further maze style entry door to deter cats.
The hogilo is made from recycled agricultural plastic on a plywood skeleton. The screwed construction techniques gives strength and longevity to withstand crushing or strimming.
Used by the Hedgehog Preservation Society for rehabilitating hogs and for re-releases.

The hedgehog house should be placed in a quiet, sheltered area and ideally covered with dried leaves, twigs and other vegetation. Add some hay or dry leaves inside for the hedgehogs to make their nest with.
You can check if a house is occupied by placing something light in front of the entrance - if it is moved overnight then the house is in use.
Take care not to disturb the house during the summer - if it is being used as a nursery the female could abandon the nest.
If the house has is unoccupied after winter use (lat March to early April) you can clean it. If you treat the house for fleas make sure only to use organic Pyrethrum powers suitable for birds. Dog and cat treatments are too strong and may kill a hedgehog.
Hedgehogs will enjoy supplementary feeing. If you can't find specialist hedgehog food at your local garden centre you can substitute wet or dried cat food. And don't forget to provide a bowl of fresh water for your hogs!
