Kooprijk - Hedgehog

KOOPRIJK - Hedgehog box Have you spotted a hedgehog in your garden? Hedgehogs often use a fixed route. At night or at dusk they go in search of food, walking three to five kilometres per night. The Kooprijk nest box is suitable as a winter residence but also serves as an excellent 'nursery'. Made of solid high-quality Douglas wood, varnished roof. The walk-in tunnel ensures that the box in which the hedgehog stays is not bothered by wind, rain or foxes, cats, dogs and other animals that can disturb the hedgehogs in their hibernation. Thanks to the hinged roof you can easily inspect the inside if necessary. Placement: These mammals hibernate: adult hedgehogs go to sleep at the end of November, young hedgehogs often not until the end of December. Therefore, place your nest box preferably in mid-October so that it still has time to blend in with nature in terms of scent. Place the hedgehog house in a sheltered place where there is not much traffic, with a somewhat dry surface. Fill the nest box with leaves and twigs and preferably also over the house. You can place a piece of plastic or garbage bag over the house and over that the leaves and twigs, this is however not a requirement. By camouflaging the nest box with leaves it will blend in better with the surroundings and you will receive a hedgehog as a resident more quickly. The opening must remain free and not face north or northeast due to weather influences. The nest boxes from the KOOPRIJK series are lovingly handmade and an honest original Achterhoek product. Built from high-quality wood, screwed instead of riveted so that this nest box does not transform itself into an insect hotel on the ground after one year.
