Hedgehog Nesting Material 2kg

Introducing our premium Hedgehog Nesting Material – now available in two fantastic options to cater to the diverse needs of our spiky friends: dust-extracted meadow hay and dust-extracted golden barley straw. As the caretaker of these adorable creatures, we understand the importance of providing a comfortable and safe environment, especially during challenging seasons like the wet winter we're currently experiencing.

Struggling to decide between the two?

Option 1: Dust-Extracted Meadow Hay

Our meadow hay variant is a top-quality nesting material that ensures the ultimate cosiness for hedgehogs seeking a warm and inviting retreat. Sourced from the finest meadows and meticulously dust-extracted, this hay offers a soft and natural bedding option that mimics the hedgehog's natural habitat. It provides a plush and insulating layer for nests, keeping our prickly friends snug and secure.

Option 2: Dust-Extracted Golden Barley Straw In response to the prevailing wet winter conditions, we are delighted to introduce our golden barley straw option with its soft strands that are the ideal length. Specifically chosen for its moisture-resistant properties, this straw is less likely to retain dampness, offering a practical solution for hedgehog nesting during inclement weather. The golden barley straw maintains a dry and comfortable environment, promoting the well-being of hedgehogs in challenging climates. 

 Reuse me!

Each bale is individually packed and hermetically sealed in a compostable, plastic free film that helps keep the straw fresh for longer, makes storage easy and causes less mess. The film can be reused as a liner for your green waste caddy.

Setting up your hedgehog bedding:

Once you have established that your hedgehog house is empty, you can place a layer of bedding inside the house, ensuring you wear rubber gloves to protect you as well as discourage any of your scent being left in the house. Then you can place extra bedding outside the house in a sheltered spot away from potential disturbances to allow the hedgehog to continue building their nest in the way they prefer.

Top Tip! You can place an empty plant pot on its side and fill it with some bedding to help to keep it dry!
