In the wild #hedgehogs mainly munch insects & worms, so making a log-pile or leaving a leafy corner can really help hungry hogs out!
🪲🍂 🐛
To supplement it, you can offer meaty dog or cat food or cat biscuits & always offer #waterforwildlife!

Please share & #RememberHedgehogs this #bonfire season!
STOP. Do you need to have a bonfire? Could you do something more wildlife-friendly?
MOVE the bonfire materials to new site just before lighting.
CHECK the pile carefully by lifting each section.
LOOK before you light from one side only.

Did you know...?
In Irish folklore, hedgehogs were thought to be evidence of evil spells? Believed to be witches in disguise, they were even victims of witchhunts in the 1500s!

Thankfully, we think anyone lucky enough to spot a #hedgehog today would see it as a treat!

Did you know #hedgehogs have evolved without a 'fight or flight' instinct...?
That means that in the face of danger - such as fire creeping through a bonfire heap - their instinct is to roll into a tight ball instead of run for safety.

Look out for the little guys.

It's #WildlifeWednesday - so why not make a wild mess?!
Gather stray fallen leaves, small twigs & sticks & stack them in a quiet corner of your garden to provide nesting materials & shelter for local hedgehogs! Bugs & butterflies will appreciate an organic, undisturbed place to spend winter too.
