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,
Gartenbauer 🙂

Hi,

you often hear that hedgehogs should be helped during hibernation. Is that true, and how should it be done? Maybe you know what’s going on.

Best regards,

Hi,

I heard in a program that you should only take in hedgehogs that are underweight, meaning you shouldn’t just take every hedgehog you see...
