This sturdy fir wood feeding station offers the perfect environment for allowing hedgehogs to feed...This sturdy fir wood feeding station offers the perfect environment for allowing hedgehogs to feed safely, out of the way of predators. The station has three chambers; simply place the food in the middle chamber and the hedgehogs can make their way through to tuck in in safety. The entrances are 11cm across so wide enough for welcome visitors, but too small for foxes and other intruders. An entrance at each end keeps access simple wherever the station is placed. The asphalt skinned lid of the feeding station is hinged for easy filling and cleaning access, with a prop strut in the middle to hold it open. When closed there’s a metal latch with a snap hook to keep it shut. Whilst a hedgehog may well move into the feeding station, placed away from other shelters this feeding station will help keep the hedgehog population in the vicinity.
