Mammals - Shop at www.greengala.co.uk for wildlife and eco products

We only use FSC sourced timber for all our wildlife woodcraft products and these mammal shelters are built out of solid redwood. Please don’t confuse these products with other mammal shelters made from plywood - our mammal shelters are made by a small business that takes great care and attention to ensure this product is made to last.

Hedgehog shelters should be placed in a quiet area of your garden against a wall, fence or bank and facing away from north and north-easterly prevailing winds. Plant cover is much preferred as this will give some security to your hedgehog.

Slug pellets, chemicals and weed killers can be fatal to hedgehogs. Actually, the use of slug pellets will no longer be necessary as you will have the ultimate (beautiful) slug deterrent known to man!

The decline of the our most gorgeous dormouse has reportedly stopped and numbers are currently remaining stable. If you can be sure you have a resident dormouse population within your area, why not give them a ready made shelter to give them a helping hand?

Made from the same redwood timber (not plywood) as our mammal shelter it is sure to provide a snug and secure nest box. Just securely strap the box to a tree (a wire loop around the tree is excellent) at a height of approximately 2.5m from the floor with the hole facing towards the tree. It is best situated in a location where it will not be disturbed.

NB dormice are a legally protected species and should not be handled unless you have a relevant licence to do so.
