Introducing the Harry the Hedgehog Box by Wildlife and Birdcare, a meticulously crafted shelter for your beloved hedgehog. Constructed from locally grown larch and responsibly sourced from an FSC-certified supplier, this box maintains its natural beauty without any staining or treatment. The base features roofing felt, effectively warding off dampness and ensuring a cosy environment.

With a spacious tunnel measuring 300mm and an opening of 130x130mm, Harry the Hedgehog Box provides a welcoming entrance for our prickly friends. Unlike some of our other models, this box does not have internal walls, maximizing the available space. The lid can be effortlessly removed for cleaning, and it boasts a durable green felt covering that adds an extra layer of waterproofing.

Rest assured, this box is designed with compliance and safety as our top priorities. Crafted from solid 225mm x 22mm larch, its sturdy walls offer superior strength compared to slatted alternatives. This heavy-duty construction ensures a long-lasting and dependable shelter for your wild hedgehog friends.

Upon receiving your box, simply place it in a tranquil, shaded, and sheltered spot within your garden. Optimal locations include against a wall, fence, hedge, or garden shed. Avoid positioning the entrance towards the North or North East to shield the hedgehog from chilling winter winds. By providing this snug abode, you may become a winter haven for a fortunate hedgehog seeking refuge.

This box is notably weighty due to the usage of 22mm thick wood, delivering exceptional quality and longevity. We recommend this box for its superb craftsmanship, compliance with standards, and waterproofing capabilities, all aimed at fostering the growth of hedgehog populations.

Furthermore, the Harry the Hedgehog Box offers ample space to incorporate a wildlife camera (not included), allowing you to capture delightful moments of your hedgehogs in their natural habitat.
