Wow, that’s really bad…whilst being cheap, the Igloo clearly wasn’t safe after all.

That said, it seems, on the contrary, the problem some of the roomier hedgehog houses is that they are not predator-proof. Cats and badgers, in particular, finding their way in to hunt the hedgies (or at least, steal their hedgehog food.)

So, for those ‘hedgehog champs‘ out there still wanting a snug wicker-roofed hedgehog house, here are some alternatives to the Igloo house, which get good reviews:
– #34 Tom Chambers Rattan Hedgehog House
– #33 Leisure Traders Outdoor Garden Hedgehog House – Provides Shelter And Sanctuary
– #32 Ruddings Wood Natural Thatch Hedgehog House Hibernation Home Garden Shelter Hut Box
– #31 Everything Wildlife Hedgehog Care Pack – Shelter with Guide and Spike’s Hedgehog Food.
– #30 Brushwood Hogitat Hedgehog House Shelter
– #29 Wildlife World Special Edition National Trust Wicken Fen Hedgehog Home House Retreat 46cm

Not only do some of these alternatives have wider entrances, but also don’t have the enclosed floor.

I’d hope they would be easier for the hedgehogs to use them.

Unless anyone else has heard differently?

It seems Aldi used to sell it – but not sure why they stopped(?) Seems to be quite popular still.

The design seems simple, lightweight and easy to site (wireframe based).
