Did you know…? Garden & sports netting can harm #hedgehogs! 🥅 Their spines can get stuck & even if they manage to escape, problems can develop where skin is damaged (which may not even be visible at first) 🦔 Tie up sports nets when not in use & keep garden nets raised 30cm up.

Would you have guessed that #hedgehogs are good swimmers? 🦔💧 But they're not so good at getting out of steep sided ponds & pools - so it's vital to make sure there is a sloping side, ramp or 'beach' so they can climb out safely. Share this post or tag a pal who has a pond!

We've got lots of baby hoglets with us at the moment. These four came into us the other week after being found abandoned. Still very much needing milk from mum but old enough to know that we aren't mum, these little hoglets looked more like chestnuts after they fell off the…

It's #BeesNeedsWeek so what can you do to benefit #bees AND #hedgehogs? 🦔 🐝 🌱 Let grass grow wild or at least cut it less often (and check carefully before doing so)! 🪱 Go organic & avoid pesticides! 🍂 Leave log & leaf piles undisturbed! 📷 BHPS / M. Wilcox

This week, why not chat to your neighbours about #Hedgehog Highways? 🦔 One garden isn't enough for a 'hog - they need space to roam & gaps in garden fences & walls provide access to habitat! buff.ly/46GFIBk 📷 Chris Morgan & #HedgehogStreet, run jointly by us & @PTES

The weather is warming up - so it’s vital to provide extra water for wildlife! 🌡️☀️💦 Shallow dishes placed around gardens & green spaces can be a lifeline to thirsty #hedgehogs, birds & bees! 🦔🐦🐝 Add some pebbles where insects can perch & drink too! 📹 Wendy Noblet

Did you know...? Lawns provide a home for beetles, other insects & worms - which can all attract other #wildlife like #hedgehogs! 🪲 🪱 🐜 So let the grass grow long, ditch the chemicals & wait for the wildlife to arrive! 🦔 Good news for laidback gardeners! #FridayFact
