Hi Sean Regan
Yes, it’s a good idea to raise the hog boxes up off the ground a bit. I have mine with the runners resting on bricks. Hogs are perfectly capable of climbing up a brick and one can always be placed at the doorway as a ‘doorstep’.
If it is now fit and well, I hope that you are no longer keeping the hedgehog confined to your garden and have let it be free. Hopefully if it knows you have a des res there for it, it will continue to visit. But one garden is not big enough for a hedgehog. If it was a this years hoglet it will need to be able to become familiar with it’s wider habitat and be able to find suitable nesting sites for hibernation, etc.
