Our securely lockable hedgehog house with rat flap is ideally suited for hedgehog offspring and hibernation. The hedgehog house is perfectly adapted to the species-specific needs of hedgehogs and provides the animals with a safe haven to which they can retreat at any time. Our Erdenfreund® hedgehog house with rat flap not only gives the animals new living space, it also effectively protects hedgehogs from predators. Thanks to the lockable roof with extra safety lock and the rat flap that is easy for hedgehogs to open, no predator can disturb the animals in their hedgehog house! If you ever want to remove the rat flap, you can simply untie the organic linen cords and take the flap out. Your hedgehog enclosure will also be deliberately built in a species-appropriate manner, without a floor that would be disturbing to hedgehogs. The reason is simple: hedgehogs like to dig a small hollow in their shelter to better protect themselves from the cold. Therefore, hedgehog houses with a solid floor are less attractive to the animals and are often not accepted! A nice side effect: cleaning your cottage will also be easier and faster! It is best to place a hedgehog house in a higher location so that moisture or puddles cannot form during heavy rain. For sufficient hedgehog comfort, we recommend covering the substrate with our highly absorbent Erdenfreund® wood chips as shown in our natural product photo and padding the sleeping area with the heat-insulating Erdenfreund® wood wool. Your professional hedgehog house with rat flap is manufactured to a high standard by hand in close cooperation with workshops for disabled people in the Palatinate region, who are paid absolutely fairly above the minimum wage. The 2 cm thick local solid wood from sustainable forestry comes from our trusted regional forester and sawmill. In combination with stainless steel cross screws, it promises a very long lifespan! For the sake of the animals and our environment, we exclusively use natural wood without chemical treatments! The hedgehog house is 100% rainproof and keeps the hedgehogs inside dry and warm! We even carefully coated the roof with natural water-repellent linseed oil, so you get a beautiful pet house that can withstand the elements for a long time! With your new perfect hedgehog house with rat flap, you are not only providing more habitat for hedgehogs, which are already highly endangered! You'll also be supporting our next environmental campaigns. We use our product proceeds monthly for our own regional environmental and animal welfare campaigns🌱!
