1. Always check ground before using a trimmer, as they cause terrible Injuries.
2. Never use slug pellets, it will poison everything that eats the slug.
3. Take care when digging compost heaps.
4. Check carefully under bonfires
5. If you see a hedgehog during the day something is always wrong.
There are many ways that you can help hedgehogs in your garden from feeding them to giving them a home for the winter. I hope that this web site will encourage you to help them in your own garden and cherish them as a gardeners friend.
It's nice for children and adults to think that there is a hedgehog in the garden and that they might just get a look at it if they are at the right place at the right time.
Have a listen too, Hedgehogs are very!! noisy eaters!
Food
You can go out and buy from a good pet store proper hedgehog food but this can be very expensive unless you shop around for a good price. The cheaper alterative is cat or dog food ,you can also give them a bowl of water.
Why not be really garden friendly and find them a bowl of slugs!!
Remember, if you poison your slugs, you are poisoning any wildlife which eats the slug.
What not to give them
No fish variety cat/dog food No bread, No milk
