Have been busy building a bumble bee house since I looked at the instructions on your site. Thanks for something so sensible, I was bought a bumble bee house as a present that actually looked like a house! No takers for that so far. feel your design willbe more successful!!

    A hedgehog came in the kitchen last night so I will build him/her a house and put it near the back door!!! Thanks for a great web site

    I don't think there are any wooden wine crates to get in Sweden, where I live, so it would be helpful to have an approximate measure of the house. Do hedgehogs hibernate together (so more could use the house if I make it larger), or would a larger house just be a waste of the warmth a single hedgehog produces?

    That looks great - I'd love to have hedgehogs nesting in my garden. I was wondering though - would rats nest in it? If so, how would you stop them?

    We had a tiny hodgeheg snuffling around our garden so im going to try and build a house for him/her to snuggle down in winter. when the spring comes, there are hundreds of slugs to wakeup to and have a big feed. Thankyou for showing me how to make the house.

    I have schematic for a hedgehog house that's relatively square with a push on lid.

    The sizes are :
    18 inches x
    15 inchesx
    9.5 inches. Hope this helps - wish I could include a picture for you

    I don't know if it will attract hedgehogs but making a house has kept a teenager happy all afternoon. Any hogs will be a bonus.

    a question was asked about would a hedgehog house get rats nesting in it and the answer could not be seen. someone else commented and said they couldnt see the answer either. i registered and still cannot see the answer. how do you get to see the answers to the questions. if we cant see the answers then the site isnt any good to us

    I can see that two other people also would like an answer to the question I asked 2 years ago about rats - is this comments area just for comments and not questions? I haven't found the answer to this question anywhere else, although I have built 3 hedgehog houses and just hope the rats don't like them.
