A Safe Winter Shelter for Hedgehogs – Why It’s So Important

Winter is a real challenge for hedgehogs. During this time, they slow down their metabolism and enter an energy-saving sleep. However, many so-called “sleeping spots” like leaf piles or plastic hides can quickly become dangerous: they mold easily or give predators access. What makes a good hedgehog house?
Our hedgehog house made of untreated wood combines practical animal protection with clever details:

• Labyrinth entrance – keeps cats and martens out, but allows hedgehogs to pass through easily
• Rat flap – protects against rodents without hindering the spiky residents
• Breathable design – prevents moisture and mold through natural ventilation
• Space for warmth-seekers – enough room for small groups of hedgehogs who like to snuggle together in winter

“A good hedgehog house is like a castle: safe from predators, dry in the rain, and cozy warm.”

How you can help:

1. Choose a location – sheltered from wind, e.g., under bushes
2. Set it up – line it with dry leaves or straw
3. Check regularly – carefully clean in spring
