Hedgehog Box
Hedgehogs are nocturnal and will sleep, nest and hibernate in a suitable box. The
entrance tunnel gives protection from predators such as dogs, foxes and badgers.
Do not disturb once the box is inhabited, Indicated by a trodden down entrance and
pathway in front of the box.
- Place the box in a quiet place, under a shrub or hedge.
- Cover it with leaves, branches, bracken etc.
- Part fill with leaves.
Normal food for a hedgehog is earth worms, slugs and snails etc. You can supplement
this by putting out cat food and water - never milk.

Ruth Tune
Animals, birds and flora have always been my inspiration, I paint what I know and
see around me. Once a painting is started, after each session I walk in the woods,
fields and common land near my house correcting and adding to my picture mentally.
From being a small child I was always drawing and find it a good discipline now,
but my love of colour encourages me to use oils, watercolour and pastel. I love
the variety of different media, the one I am using at the time being my favourite.
