What Is A Hedgehog Highway?
A hedgehog highway is something that is created to help hedgehogs.
Hedgehog highways are a way for hedgehogs to move about safely and freely. Hedgehog highways are usually created in gardens.
Hedgehog highways are connected with garden fences.
How Do You Create One?
Creating a hedgehog highway is easy, it will also help hedgehogs and give your garden a cool and caring look to it.
All you have to do to create a hedgehog highway is to create holes at the bottom of your fences. These holes should be big enough for hedgehogs to easily walk through. By doing this, you will help give hedgehogs a way to freely and safely move in and out of your garden - this will help hedgehogs to also find food and shelter.
You can also put signs which say 'hedgehog highway' or 'hedgehog crossing' at the entrances of your hedgehog highway.
Or, you could even create your own DIY sign!
Why Create A Hedgehog Highway?
Creating a hedgehog highway in your garden is a great way to help hedgehogs.
You should create a hedgehog highway in your garden to help hedgehogs: especially because hedgehogs have been declining in the UK for decades now. Our wildlife in the UK and across the rest of the world is also declining. Hedgehogs are also found in other European countries, if you are in a country which has hedgehogs in the wild, then you can also create a hedgehog highway to help hedgehogs.
Summertime is one of the best times of the year to help hedgehogs.
Right now, hedgehogs are out of hibernation and, this is the time of year that hedgehogs give birth to their babies.
Female hedgehogs give birth to their babies during June and July, therefore, creating a hedgehog highway right now, is an excellent time to do it, as it will help hedgehogs and their young right now find food and shelter more easily.
If you do put out food for hedgehogs, please don't put bread or milk out, as bread and milk is harmful to hedgehogs. Instead, you could put a small dish of water out and some specially made hedgehog food to help them.
Another tip: please don't use chemicals in the garden - such as slug pellets or fertilizers - these are harmful to animals like hedgehogs.
