How do hedgehogs build their home?

Answer 1

Hedgehogs can either make their homes or live in a semi-manmade structure (a pile of logs/man-made hedgehog boxes/etc)

If hedgehogs make their homes, they choose a site, then compose the nest of grass, leaves, and various other plants they can find. They will carry the materials in their mouths, a few at a time, and pile them up. Then, when they are ready they will burrow inside them.

The summertime nests are flimsy and thin; however, the types of hedgehogs that hibernate (such as scandanavian hedgehogs) make a much warmer and long-lasting hibernaculum (winter nest).
