Garden wildlife habitats FAQs
Is it worth adding a habitat for wildlife I haven’t seen in my garden?
Yes, it can be. Lots of the critters and creatures that call the UK countryside home are shy: hedgehogs, bats and badgers are out there even if you can’t see them. It may be that there are few in your area because of habitat loss or traffic, but if anything, that’s all the more reason to try and support them.
What wildlife habitats are best for a beginner’s garden?
Bird boxes and bug hotels are definitely the easiest habitats to start with. They’re simple to position, need very little maintenance, attract wildlife quickly, and still have a great positive effect on your garden’s biodiversity. Hedgehog houses and bat boxes are also suitable for beginners, as long as they’re placed in a quiet, sheltered part of the garden.
Do wildlife habitats need a lot of maintenance?
Most habitats need very little upkeep. Bird boxes may need occasional cleaning between seasons, while bug hotels and hedgehog houses are generally best left undisturbed once in place. Positioning them correctly from the start helps reduce the need for ongoing maintenance. The anti-bacterial coating on products like our hedgehog houses mean that they need even less manual maintenance.
Can wildlife habitats be used in small gardens?
Yes, our habitats are designed to work in compact spaces. Bird boxes, bat boxes, and bug hotels can use vertical space on walls, fences, or trees, while hedgehog houses can be tucked into quiet corners. Even small gardens can support a surprising amount of wildlife with the right setup, especially if you’re creative.
When is the best time to install garden wildlife habitats?
You can install wildlife habitats at any time of year, but autumn and winter are often ideal. This gives wildlife time to discover them before breeding or hibernation seasons begin. Installing early also means your garden is ready when activity increases in spring.
