ᐅ Hedgehog – a Useful Helper

Hello,

It’s time to focus again on a very useful animal that is a true helper in any garden: the hedgehog.

The hedgehog is one of those animals well known and appreciated throughout Europe. On one hand, because of its unique appearance, and on the other, because of the work it does in gardens. It happily feeds on snails and other insects that can cause damage in the garden.

As everyone knows, the hedgehog has a distinctive coat of around 8,000 spines. This defense mechanism is considered one of the best worldwide. Even snakes cannot harm hedgehogs; in fact, hedgehogs also feed on snakes.

Best regards,

Hedgehogs need more living space

Hello!

I find hedgehogs truly fascinating. It’s sad that many people love hedgehogs but still don’t provide them with the living space they deserve in their gardens. If a garden consists only of a well-maintained lawn, with no leaves or twigs, the hedgehog won’t stay there for long.

Hi,

like most people, I am also a hedgehog enthusiast. But as already mentioned, it is very important to provide hedgehogs with the habitat they need to feel comfortable in our gardens.

Hi!

Actually, it would be better for the hedgehogs if they were driven out of the inhabited areas of our country. Last week, I saw as many as 3 hedgehogs on the street. This wouldn’t happen if they couldn’t find a habitat in residential areas.

Hi,

well, that would mean you’d have to cover all the park areas in a city with concrete. *lol* because hedgehogs don’t just hang around in private gardens, but also in public green spaces.

Hi,

I think I have seen far more dead hedgehogs than living ones. Maybe hedgehogs wouldn’t have to move so much through cities if they had habitats that didn’t force them to constantly travel from one place to another...?
