They have become an iconic part of our British countryside, but their numbers are dwindling. Recent estimates show hedgehog population in the U.K is less than a million. We all need to do our bit to help provide new habitats for our local hedgehogs that urbanisation and intensive farming have destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHedgehogs will usually begin hibernation in November under an excellent thick hedge or log pile. But with the loss of vital natural habitat, it's up to us to provide an alternative in our gardens. The easiest and most successful way to do this is to buy a hedgehog house.
