Hedgehog Friendly Campus! As we've been researching the Birmingham area, we discovered an unexpected envrionmental treat! Apparently, Birmingham is known for having wild hedgehogs roaming through the lands! Sadly, we've also learned that while they used to be widespread, they have been dying off as a result of urbanization. That being said, the University of Birmingham is a hedgehog friendly campus, meaning they have set up habitations and feeding areas for these amazing little creatures. We've also learned that it's not uncomon to have a hedgehog find its way into your back yard! Needless to say, the kids are very excited about this, and we want to become what's known as Hedgehog Heroes! Here's a list of things that we plan to do when we find a home, to make it hedgehog friendly: 1. Provide good food Leaving food out for hedgehogs can help them during cold snaps and help them reach a healthy hibernation weight. A meaty dog or cat food (not fish flavoured)...
