RHS Snuffles Hedehog House

Handcrafted in the UK by people with autism and learning disabilities using sustainably sourced timber, the beautiful Royal Horticultural Society endorsed Snuffles Hedgehog House blends both nature and craftsmanship. With its natural oak color scheme inspired by the RHS, this striking hog house provides quality shelter for hedgehogs.

The Snuffles Hedgehog Box features a tunnel entrance that deters predators and a waterproof roof with raised feet to keep the interior dry. Place it in a sheltered, quiet garden corner surrounded by undergrowth to protect from wind and rain. Provide dry leaves or straw outside the entrance that hedgehogs can use as bedding inside.  Snuffles has felt on its base and roof for extra waterproofing.

The Snuffles comes with fixing instructions and some minimal assembly is required, it's really important that these instructions are followed to ensure that the house is safe and secure.

Clean the box in early spring and autumn, after confirming hedgehogs are not hibernating or breeding inside. Avoid disturbing them during hoglet season from May through early September.

Use hot soapy water and make sure that the box is well aired and dried after cleaning. If putting out food, leave it a couple of metres away as hedgehogs don’t tend to eat and sleep in the same place. Hedgehogs prefer specialist hedgehog food or tinned meaty dog or cat food and crushed cat or dog biscuits. 

To prevent disease transmission, remove any uneaten food and wash feeding dishes daily outside with hot, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and secure the tunnel entrance before use. Avoid feeding hedgehogs bread, milk, or mealworms, as these foods can harm them. Since multiple hedgehogs may visit the feeding area, daily sanitation is essential.
