That’s great to hear CutiePinCushion! Glad they love the feeding station now.

With regards to the house, be careful you don’t make the entrances too big! Even big hedgehogs can squish through surprisingly small gaps, I think 12.5 cm by 12.5 is the recommended size. If you do convert the double house into a single, do make sure you block the other entrance, they just like one way in and out. Let us know if you manage to build more, you can use wood, bricks, paving slabs, all sort of things to make the right shape. I made some with some concrete slabs I had lying around, and another with a wooden box and some roofing felt. All of them are getting used to stay over, although nobody seems to be making their winter nests yet.
