I have covered the top of mine with a plastic sheeting and placed a number of conifer branches and logs on top. Just to give it a bit of secrecy and extra protection through the winter, although I am not sure it will make any difference. Hedgehogs have visited my box, but I really don't know if they have taken to using it now. They are still coming for food every night, but my suspicions that there might be at least one taking up residence in my garage. Damn, I was hoping to clear that out before winter.
Good luck with your little ones.

Re: Hedgehogs
Have not seen one for years.
But on my allotment I put a pile of rubbish over the summer and I have to burn it around Guy Folks night but I always move it before I burn it just incase a hedgehog has made a nest in it

Hope you can see the photo.
I hope it was flash, as I don't think they should be out during the day , it's usually an indication that they are sick.

Good idea to use a bread bin.
Looks like a flash to me.

And you have to be careful what stain/waterproofing you use as most oil based ones are toxic to the hogs.
The new hog house is supposed to be arriving today which is just as well as we're due for some much colder weather at the end of the week I think.
Thank you all for your kind words regarding my handiwork, it was during the making of this hoghouse that I managed to drill through my finger
There was literally blood, sweat and tears (and a few swear words)
