| | | Hedgehog boxes / feeders
After seeing cazzie getting her husband to make her some new hedgehog boxes, I deciced to make me some hog boxes / feeders. A small entrance leading down a short tunnel and into feeding / sleeping where the hog can eat their food without the local cats getting it first. 
Some of these boxes will be taken to work and put out around the small industrial estate where I work, where hog dropping are seen but not the hedgehogs. |

Ooo they're posh! 
But methinks your hoggies will love'em!  Do let us know if you get any takers ok because as we're all finding out... hoggies are fickle little spikeys!

I work on a small industrial estate in North Herefordshire, there are only 8 units on there, I will be taking 4 boxes there tomorrow, where food will be placed in them to see what comes, some cats are fed there but hedgehog droppings are often seen around the cat bowls, now they will have somewhere to have their own food, |
