Would you like to give a hedgehog a home? Well the chaps at The Phoenix Shed have been doing just that and two are now safely in sheltered spots in two gardens. This is the time to get these hedgehog houses in place ready for leaf fall and give the hedgehogs time to adapt to them. The hog house is big enough not just for hibernation, but also for breeding.
The hog house is approximately 600mm long x 430mm wide and 240mm high. The timber is 30mm thick and will provide excellent insulation. It is also heat pressure treated so last many years. The box entrance is offset to prevent predators getting in.
Timber to make these houses is running low, so if you want one, you need to act quickly. We can deliver locally, free of charge.
Please call Chris: 07930207537 to place your order.
The Shed is open to all men over 55 years, Monday and Wednesday 9.30am – 4pm and Friday from 9.30am – 12.30pm. We are located in Threeways Centre, Nursery Lane, Ovenden (the old Ridings School).
