A completely redesigned hedgehog nest which incorporates all the best features of previous nests, is far safer for the hedgehog, and eliminates loose entrance tunnels and plastic pipes by building all these features into one robust design.

This nestbox has been designed and ultimately tested extensively with great success over a period of 12 months by the Hedgehog Preservation Society and their hedgehog "carers", whose help is much appreciated. The final nest design has also been approved by Dr. Pat Morris of London University who has contributed to it's development.

The box features:-

• Fully built-in tunnel with 5" square access for even the largest hedgehog.
• Raised 'step' at entrance to enable the box to be partly buried.
• Totally safe nesting area well away from the tunnel entrance.
• Lower roof to enable the hedgehog to build a snug nest.
• Specially designed inbuilt "unblockable" ventilation to provide just the right temperature and humidity without draughts.
• Totally removable roof for easy inspection and cleaning.
• Underfloor runners letting air to the underside of the box but allowing the box to be pushed easily into place in undergrowth, etc.
• Reinforced and strengthened corners making a sturdy nestbox.
• One compact unit easy to position.
• A price lower than or comparable to all others.
