If a hedgehog has settled in your garden, then you do not have to spend a lot of time and effort fighting harmful insects. A new guest in the garden will do most of the work for you. And so that he stays in the garden for a long time and becomes your constant assistant in guarding the garden, build a house for him.
For happiness, a hedgehog needs a little, namely: that during the winter he was provided with a warm and dry shelter, and in the summer he had a richly set table with food; to quickly stock up on fat for long wintering.
From mid-April to early May, you can observe how the animal slowly moves away from deep sleep. At this time in the garden there is still little to profit from. Nature is just beginning to wake up after hibernation; many insects have not yet recovered from their winter sleep.
Unfortunately, many gardeners still begin general spring cleaning with the first rays of the sun in April: all parts of the garden are carefully cleared of leaves and plant debris. As a result, a bare land remains, where it is difficult for a hedgehog to find food. Consequently, the more foliage in the garden, the richer the table for the animals is set.
The appearance of offspring in the nest is not excluded. The young replenishment will live in a cozy house all summer long and only in the beginning of autumn will they start arranging their own winter apartment. Hedgehogs are scary individualists and prefer to live apart.
