Hi Dr. Robotnik
Cats probably wouldn’t have any reason to go into a hog house, if it was being used for nesting/sleeping in. The problem mainly arises if they are used as feeding boxes when the cats can smell the food. So cats would probably not have been considered to be a predator of hedgehogs.
Feeding boxes are a different matter and most, if they said they were cat proof, I wouldn’t believe it, as it depends on the cat and usually some added precautions need to be taken.
There are so many different hog houses, but I agree with alanfrew that ones that you can take the roof off are easier for cleaning. But also those where there is a baffle opposite the entrance so that there is an immediate left or right turn seem better to me than ones that have a ‘corridor’ straight from the entrance.
Good luck. I hope you manage to find something that suits you and the hogs.
