Hedgehog in my garden

[bardsea]

I have just uncovered a hibinating hedgehog.it was underneath the dying long damp leaves of a lily.
Under these leaves is dry grass etc.I have re covered it .I am concerned that my disturbing it will kill it.
THere are better areas in the garden fot me to put it ,i
need advise on the best way to prepare a new area.

Your disturbing it won't kill it. Hedgehogs simply toddle off somewhere else if disturbed. But what to do is build a little 'hedgehog house'. Basically it's a shelter made of small branches, twigs, leaves etc. You can build it against a wall or under a tree, leaning the twigs against the upright surface and piling on more twigs. Or you can build it in a 'wigwam' style. Be sure to build the shelter somewhere secluded. If the hedgehog leaves its original nest, it will find a new spot, and they like 'hedgehog houses'.
