A 13cm \u00d7 13cm hole cut in the bottom of a fence or gate, finished with one of these neat frames, lets a hedgehog pass safely from garden to garden. Hogs roam over a mile a night looking for food, water, a mate and somewhere to nest, and our fenced-off gardens have quietly turned the neighbourhood into a maze of dead ends. A single gap changes that but a row of them creates a genuine network of opportunity for our spiny friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It matters because hedgehogs are in real trouble. Once a familiar sight in every garden, now a species in steep decline, and a flagship for the Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Want one?<\/strong> Come and find us, we&#8217;ve got frames to give away. You don&#8217;t need to wait, either: a hog-sized hole costs nothing to cut today.
