The wicker igloo house offers hedgehogs and other mammals a safe retreat from the many hazards of modern life such as garden strimmer, forks and tools, pets and other predators such as badgers and foxes. This habitat is much safer than the compost heap or Bonfire where hedgehogs can be in danger. The round painted steel frame has a water-proof roof which is covered with a brush wood finish decorated with withy bands and camouflaged with moss trim. The Igloo can accommodate family groups such as mother and hoglets. The small entrance tunnel is designed to deter predators such badgers and dogs. The Igloo is predominately designed for shelter but may be used for hibernation if additional brushwood cover is provided over the igloo in winter.
