With the arrival of spring, hedgehogs are waking from hibernation and are in need of food and water to regain their strength. Leaving out protein-rich cat or dog food, particularly chicken flavor, can attract these nocturnal creatures back to your garden. Experts recommend placing food in a sheltered area to prevent it from being eaten by other animals like cats or foxes. A hedgehog house can provide a safe eating environment, while a DIY feeding station made from a storage box can also work effectively. Ensure that the food bowl is clean and that fresh water is available in a sturdy, shaded bowl. By taking these steps, you can create a welcoming environment for hedgehogs in your garden this spring.
