Question: how can i help the hedgehogs in my garden?

Hedgehogs find our towns and cities tricky to live in, but they actually do much better there than in more rural places (like on farms). The best way to help hedgehogs is to link up their habitats. You can do this by putting small holes in your fences. Hedgehogs can climb, but not very well, so these holes help them move around to access food. Putting our dog food and a dish of water will also give them a good snack for when they are moving around, but they mainly like eating beetles and slugs!
