So, just to clarify, the time and effort we (meaning me!) put into trying to make the hedgehog houses waterproof, windproof, well insulated and raised off the ground in case of heavy rain, that’s all unnecessary and no assistance to the hogs for hibernation purposes? All they need is a box and a tunnel and they’ll do the rest? I feel a bit daft now. I was aware that they are good at building nests but I thought with their environment changing and the disappearance of the hedges they’re named after, that a reasonably weatherproof house would be a good replacement for the dense undergrowth and piles of leaves and things that they would naturally nest in. I’m also concerned that as the hibernacula are so much bigger and denser than the summer nests and baby nests I may not have made the hog houses big enough…
