- Attract hedgehogs into your garden by putting food out for them but deter foxes, dogs and cats from stealing all the hedgehogs' food.
- The hedgehog feeder has a generous feeding chamber with integrated tunnel to deter predators or cats from entering the box whilst making it easy for hedgehogs to get to the food.
- Made from 100% recycled plastic to make a robust, exceptionally long lasting feeder.
- Held together with our clever tabs, there are no fixings or hinges to rust or corrode.
- Large rear door for easy access to feeding chamber and for cleaning.
Fed up with foxes and cats eating all the food you leave out for hedgehogs? Our feeding station may be just the answer. It is specially designed to make it difficult for anything larger than a hedgehog to enter, making sure your hedgehog food has a better chance of feeding the actual hedgehogs. Entry is by way of a narrow tunnel which includes 2 turns that discourage larger animals from gaining access to the food. The feeding chamber is a generous 43cm x 28cm giving plenty of space for dishes for water and food and even several hedgehogs to feed at once. The feeding compartment has a large door which slides out making it easy to put in the food and clean the box out if the hedgehogs make a mess.
The whole feeder is manufactured from eco-friendly UV stable 100% recycled plastic. The plastic requires no maintenance and has an extremely long life expectancy. The feeding station is really easy to clean. Simply wash with warm water or even a hosepipe and allow to dry. The product is held together with our ingenious tabs so there is nothing which can rot or corrode and the feeder can be left outside throughout the year in all weather conditions.
Black, with an attractive green wrap-over roof, the understated elegance of this product is designed to complement our Eco Hedgehog Nest Box. Either or both of these products will enhance the look of any garden.
Hedgehog Feeding Tips
Hedgehogs in the wild eat a wide range of bugs and beasties but you can give them a helping hand by providing supplementary food in your garden. If you have hedgehogs around they will soon find any food you put out. They have a good sense of smell and once they’ve learnt that your feeding station is a good source of food will often come back. When it comes to feeding hedgehogs the British Hedgehog Preservation Society suggests the best things to offer are Hedgehog food, meaty cat or dog food or complete cat biscuits
When feeding hedgehogs always provide a shallow dish of water and NEVER give them milk (they are lactose intolerant so this can make them ill).

nature first since 1996
We aim for our boxes to provide the best accommodation for wildlife and our primary concern with all our products is that they should be designed appropriately for their target species.
Our boxes replicate as far as possible the conditions which are found in natural nest and roost sites.
designed by experts
Before we design any box we consider the requirements of the proposed inhabitants through reviews of published studies and consultation with experts in their field.
Combined with our experience of designing and manufacturing boxes and customer feedback we produce what we hope are boxes which offer the best accommodation for wildlife.
During the development of our products we are grateful to have received input of various kinds from many sources including, amongst others, the RSPB, the Barn Owl Trust, the University of Warwick, ZSL London Zoo, Staffordshire University, the Bat Conservation Trust, Aston University, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Coventry University and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
made in britain
We started making nest boxes in 1996 based in a shed in Herefordshire. Since then, we’ve grown in size to become one of the largest producers of roost, nest, and wildlife boxes in the UK.
The Nestbox Company is run by father and sons; Peter, Tristan and Damian.
We manufacture our products in our own rural workshops, and combine modern production technology, with traditional hand finishing.
