Hi again, our arrangement seems to work pretty well, the tunnel goes in from the front and then the hog has to turn left to get in the second box. As you say that will stop cats but the only cat in my garden (when the weather is fine) is our own and she is not at all bothered about the house. I stopped cats getting in years ago as I have been feeding birds for a very long time and didn’t want cats lurking to catch them. I am a member of the BTO’s garden BirdWatch team so I report all wildlife and insects etc every week on line to them. I am very lucky where I live, 40 years here and always seen hedgehogs around. Our part of the village is old terraced houses with back lanes between them so it is ideal for hogs. I will look at the houses again in a few months, in the meantime ours is keeping nice and dry under the table tops. Haha, what we do eh?? Oh I did manage to clean out most of the poo, which was just around the entrance to the inner box and in the tunnel. The little critter didn’t even know we were in there as far as I could see as there was no movement. It has piled the leaves and grass right up to the top, packed tight. I can lift all the tops off quite easily so it is quite a good arrangement which I will keep when I get a new house I think, as you say it will keep it dry. Cheers.
