Hi there! I do not know how to write descriptions tbqh, but I do hope you enjoyed my video! Feel free to give any feedback and suggestions in the comments bellow.📣 Oh, and happy holidays!

Hi! I decided to create this tutorial, because a couple of you asked me about - how to put a roof on a bottom part. And here it is! I use a simple method. For me it’s a simple, and it’s a quick!

First step. Build a lower part. And turn on cheat -"moveobjects on" Second step. Build inside it a 3x3 squares cross. Like this:

Third step. Place a windows on it.

And last step - place the roof. Thats all!

Neighbours, some are great, some are too noisy, and some of them need a little helping hand. The UKs wildlife population is under threat from habitat destruction, food competition, dangerous roads, climate change and multiple other threats.

But all is not lost, there are many different things we can do in our gardens that can help our wild neighbours thrive.

Hedgehogs

Mum and I have been feeding our regular hedgehog since April 2019. We feed him mostly meal worms, but if he’s lucky he gets a plate of tinned cat food. You can also feed them crushed up cat and dog biscuits (not fish based) or specialist hedgehog food you can buy from most pet stores, like Pets Corner or Pets at Home.

Other than being avid animal fans, we decided to start feeding Hodge because we wanted to help him thrive. Hedgehogs are moving further into urban areas largely to find more food, as the use of pesticides in farming are killing off the insects they’d normally eat. However, the urban environment imposes new risks. Cars, humans and the rest. Providing food reduces competition between and within species, meaning he doesn’t have to travel as far in his dangerous world to find food.

Hodge doesn’t live in our garden, as he frequents the front not back we didn’t like to encourage him settling by the road (not that we think he would anyway). However, if your hog is in the back, building a home is another great way to help him/her thrive.  

They can use it for rest, hibernation and if you’re truly lucky, for raising hoglets. The size of the garden doesn’t matter but positioning does. Hedgehogs, like us, don’t want to live in a hovel. They like their home out of direct sunlight with the entrance out of the wind, and somewhere quiet where they won’t be disturbed. Putting the house under bushes helps to meet these needs. Id also avoid putting the house at the bottom of any slopes so it doesn’t flood.

I have included a link to a youtube video I found with instructions on how to build a suitable hog house, but if you’re strapped for time you can also buy them from the RSPB website or Pets at Home.

My last tidbit on how to help our spikey friends is to ensure your garden is part of the hedgehog highway. Travelling up to 1 mile a night looking for food and mates, these guys are being forced out onto roads because they cant get past our garden fences. You can easily remedy this for by cutting holes in the bottom of your fence, or making sure existing holes are clear. This is a relatively simple process and can be done with a drill – according to Hedgehog Highstreet 13x13cm is a sufficient size for Hogs and too small for most pets to utilise.

These three simple actions can help increase our depleting hedgehog population and give you great joy doing it and not just that. If a hedgehog chooses your garden, your marigolds will be protected from slugs for the duration of his/her tenancy!
