In the summer of 2002 a hedgehog had her litter of hoglets under the shrubbery in the bottom left of the picture. I decided that I would build a 'hedgehog-house' for the upcoming winter, and sited it under the conifer shown at the back of the garden.

I built the home from an upturned plastic box, much like the design shown in the HHhomes link in the list shown on the right. I placed somes leaves in it from the old 'nest' in the shrubbery, and put some peanuts outside, and waited..

Two nights later the hedgehogs moved into the new 'house' - first one then two, and finally three decided to set up home in the new house.

Shortly after I set up a 'wireless' infra-red (night viewing) video camera in the vicinity of the 'house', and some of the results can be seen on the following page.
