Hedgehogs contribute to soil health by consuming a variety of pests, such as slugs and insects, which can otherwise damage plants and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. Their foraging habits aerate the soil as they dig for food, promoting better water infiltration and root growth. Additionally, their waste acts as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil with nutrients that support plant life. Overall, hedgehogs play a vital role in maintaining a healthy garden ecosystem.

Is plant soil bad for a hedgehog?

[1] Hedgehogs live off of the soil food web. So they like soil that's home to what they prefer to eat: beetles, caterpillars, cranefly larvae, earwigs, millipedes, slugs, snails, and worms. [2] Plant soil that's aerated, fertile, moist, and nicely drained encourages the soil food web. [3] Plant soil that has been subjected to heavy-handed synthetic chemicals and fertilizers may not encourage such life. And therefore it wouldn't have the food offerings that hedgehogs need to survive.
