Wildlife Holes in fences what size for a Tiggywinkle

[nightshade]

My well meaning neighbour has built up his side of a fence, this will cut off any potential visitors like hedgehogs, so what size holes will I need to make for Hedgehogs?

A hog sized one..
There is a slatted fence next to my garden where they come though and a 6ft one round most of the garden.
Are you planning to make a hole in the fence or underneath it..

Kayleigh as I said, my neighbour has kindly filled in the gaps underneath my fence from his side. I will have to cut holes so need a minimum size e.g.
2" hole, starving Hedgehogs, 4" hole, plump hedgehogs.

I have a gate at the side of my house and the gap under there is about 6 inches high at the most and they manage to squeeze through there ok.

a 4 inch x 4 inch hole will be about right with the edges smoothed off.

This goes for hog homes, feeding stations and fence gaps.
