Description There are two types of nesting boxes for hedgehogs: a freestanding hedgehog house and a hedgehog house that is worked under a pile of leaves or branches. The design of Ecovery ensures that the hedgehog house can be used in both situations. INSTALLATION With opening to the north, add leaves or bark to the bottom. If you want to simulate the most natural situation, it is best to go for the type with shaft and ventilation pipe. This little house is placed under a pile of leaves or branches where hedgehogs often get their food, such as snails. This type of hedgehog house is considered the most successful and can also be used under compost piles or hedgerows. The pile also provides shelter and insulation. If you prefer to use the hedgehog house loose in the garden, you can simply remove the ventilation pipe from the hedgehog house and push the shaft inwards. The sloping roof with waterproof finishing layer is designed to ensure a good drainage of rainwater in the case of a freestanding nest box. MAINTENANCE Clean once a year via the removable roof. Because hedgehogs are very susceptible to chemical products, the box should only be treated with ecological linseed oil.
