Where to buy a Hedgehog box

BrianD3 · 2007-09-01 08:54:05

I tried making a hedgehog nesting box but it didn't turn out very well so I want to buy one instead. Anyone know of a shop in Ireland that sells boxes - Ecoshop in Wicklow do but haven't got any at the moment. Are there any other places - garden centres etc. I have tried a number of them already and no luck.

No need for a box. Leave a pile of leaves and branches - prunings from trees and shrubs are ideal - undisturbed in a quiet piece of the garden and if there are hogs about they will use it for hibernation. Works for me every year.
