Now many hedgehogs begin their hibernation, at least they sleep now increasingly the majority of the day. We also have a small hedgehog in the garden, which is always wandering around the house in the summer garden. He also now in the winter stays with us, I raked a pile of leaves and placed it against the back wall of my house garden. He can then set up his winter quarters, and my children are very happy with this solution, especially since she initially wanted to catch him and take into the house and into her own little garden shed.
However, hedgehogs are very well over the winter, when they are in a near-natural like ours, a little spot that is not completely free from leaves. Especially since it unless I am correctly informed, among the particularly sensitive wildlife and it is even forbidden to take it easy when they are healthy.
In addition to the warm temperature in the house or garden house speaks against driving a hedgehog. Because really hibernating animals only at temperatures below 6 ° C. As our summer houses are very well insulated, it will be warmer there in winter. With such warm temperatures, the hedgehog does not sleep, but only doze, which is very exhausting for the animals due to the increased cardiovascular functions.
Since the run pile behind my house garden a natural Quatier for the hedgehog is, if he uses it, I do not have to clean it regularly, which would have been for all other variants, such as cardboard boxes or like the case.
I will look at the day time, if the hedgehog has accepted our offer to stay behind the garden shed.
