Hedgehog House

This habitat is much safer than the compost heap or bonfire where hedgehogs are in danger from garden tools or of being burnt.

The round painted steel frame has a felted water-proof roof which is covered with a brush wood finish decorated with rattan bands.

Please note: our NEW STOCK DOES NOT have the green moss trim. As the product is made from natural materials the appearance may vary due to seasonal availability and environmental factors.
