Hedgehogs are adorable and fascinating creatures that can be found in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, hedgehogs are in decline due to habitat loss, road accidents, and other human activities. As animal lovers, it is our responsibility to help hedgehogs and ensure that they are protected. In this blog post, we will discuss how to help hedgehogs during all four seasons.

Did you know?

Hedgehogs are small mammals that can be found in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and have been introduced to other parts of the world like New Zealand[1]. Here are some statistics on hedgehogs:

There are 17 species of hedgehogs in five genera[1].

The head and body of adult hedgehogs range from 5 to 12 inches (13 to 30 centimetres) long and weigh between 14 to 39 ounces[2][3].

The common Western European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) can grow up to 1,100 grams[4].

Hedgehogs are carnivores and eat insects, snails, and other small animals[2][3].

In the UK, hedgehogs have declined by 30% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas since 2000[5].

Spring

Spring is the time when hedgehogs come out of hibernation. During this time, they are hungry and need to find food. Here's how you can help hedgehogs in the spring:

Provide food: Leave out a dish of water and some cat or dog food for hedgehogs to eat. Avoid giving them milk or bread, as this can upset their stomachs.

Create a safe space: Hedgehogs need a safe place to rest during the day. You can create a safe space by building a hedgehog house or providing a pile of leaves for them to hide in.

Summer

Summer is the breeding season for hedgehogs. During this time, they are looking for a mate and may travel long distances to find one. Here's how you can help hedgehogs in the summer:

Provide water: Leave out a dish of water for the hedgehogs to drink from. Make sure to change the water regularly to keep it fresh.

Avoid using pesticides: Pesticides can be harmful to hedgehogs and other wildlife. Avoid using them in your garden or on your lawn.
