Hedgehog Traditional Cache

Hedgehogs normally have from 5,000 to 6,500 spines on their backs. They are filled with air pockets on the inside. The spines are to protect them from predators such as a fox.

Hedgehogs love to eat minibeasts and they love to eat fungi. That's one of the Crombie food chains!

Although there are hedgehogs in Crombie – your garden may just as important for them. Simple measures could make your garden link to all your neighbours helping to make another 433,000 hectares accessible to hedgehogs in the UK.
