Feeding Guide

Leave a shallow bowl or feeding tray of food out in your garden each evening at dusk in time for hedgehogs waking up. It can be very difficult for hedgehogs to find sources of fresh, clean water, particularly in built-up areas and in extremely cold and hot weather, so visiting hedgehogs will also appreciate a second shallow bowl of water. Dishes should be shallow and ideally ceramic so they are difficult to tip over.

To stop dogs, cats, and other wild animals from stealing the food, invest in a Weatherproof Hedgehog Hotel or use a weighed-down plastic bowl with a 13cm diameter hole cut in the base. Avoid feeding milk, bread, or mealworms, as these can cause serious illness in hedgehogs.

Encouraging Hedgehogs to Visit Your Garden

• Create a Wild Patch: Leave a quiet section of your garden to grow wild without slug pellets or pesticides as a safe area.

• Make a Safe Passage: Cut a 13cm diameter hole in the bottom of your fence to allow hedgehogs to travel freely.

• Check Before Gardening: Always check hedges, borders, leaf piles, and bonfires before using lawn mowers, strimmers, or lighting fires.

• Winter Feeding: Continue leaving food and water out through the winter months when milder weather may keep hedgehogs active.
