Installing a solid pinewood hedgehog shelter with a removable roof is an excellent way to support local biodiversity and provide a safe haven for these valuable garden allies. Made in Europe from 15 mm thick solid pinewood, this sturdy shelter is designed to withstand all weather conditions throughout the year. It offers a secure and warm space for hibernation or raising a hedgehog family in complete tranquility.
This shelter stands out for its thoughtful and environmentally friendly design, featuring a roof treated with an eco-friendly water-based stain in dark grey. Fully pre-assembled, it can be installed immediately in your garden without requiring any tools, allowing you to quickly welcome these useful small mammals.
The European hedgehog is a precious ally for natural gardeners, but it faces many challenges finding safe shelters. Installing this hedgehog house addresses specific needs throughout the seasons, particularly for winter hibernation and reproduction.
The European hedgehog is protected under national law in France since the decree of April 23, 2007, strictly prohibiting its capture, detention, or relocation. To encourage its presence in an eco-responsible manner, wildlife protection associations such as LPO, FNE, or Mission Hérisson recommend simple daily actions.
It is particularly advised to leave wild, uncut areas in the garden to promote insect development, which is the hedgehog’s food source. Additionally, avoid systematically feeding them as they can find their own food in a natural environment. Finally, check piles of wood or leaves before burning them in winter or early spring, and facilitate their movements by creating 15 x 15 cm passages in your fences.
This shelter combines natural thermal insulation and effective physical protection against external threats. Its fixed interior partition creates a buffer zone that prevents cold wind from directly entering the nesting chamber while blocking intruders. The 11 x 14 cm entrance is ideally sized to allow hedgehogs to pass while blocking cats.
The 15 mm thick solid pinewood ensures excellent insulation and high robustness against seasonal changes. To preserve the roof’s watertightness without harming wildlife, it is treated with an eco-friendly water-based stain. No initial treatment is required upon delivery, but it is recommended to apply linseed oil once a year on the exterior walls to maximize the shelter’s lifespan.
Choose a quiet and sheltered spot in your garden to place the pre-assembled shelter.
Install the shelter directly on the ground without any tools or assembly needed.
Use the removable roof to add suitable bedding or clean the shelter.
Keep the 11 x 14 cm anti-predator entrance clear to facilitate hedgehog access.
Apply linseed oil once a year on the exterior wooden walls to extend the shelter’s lifespan.
