I don’t think hedgehogs mind that much where they eat, as long as they feel safe.
Our feeding station, is an upturned plastic box on our York stone patio.
The lid acts as a “litter tray,” so poo and wee are mostly contained and the lid just needs a wash and scrub over a drain every morning. Slugs aren’t a problem, they’d be fried by the time the reached the station from the border in this weather in the daytime and would lose too much moisture attempting to cross at some distance from a border either over a low wall or down two steps at night.
