Woodmice eating the hedgehog food

I have a hedgehog feeder crate as designed following a talk given on hedgehogs. It has an entrance towards one side of the crate, a partition in the middle with an offset doorway on the opposite side which is meant to deter rats. It’s always been quite successful in the past & the hedgehog has had a good feed & drink. So although I have seen a rat on the camera, it is now the woodmice that whizz in to eat the Spikes hedgehog food. Can mice be kept out of anywhere?
Hi henryherbert
No, sorry to say that if the hedgehogs can enter somewhere, a mouse will find it simple. So would a rat for that matter. You might just have been lucky in that respect in the past.
Luckily with the woodmice, they don’t eat too much, which is lucky as it’s a bit of an occupational hazard when feeding hedgehogs that you end up feeding the occasional woodmouse as well. The hedgehogs don’t seem too bothered about them, though, which is lucky.
