Hedgehogs have an excellent defence, they can curl up in a ball and their spikes are very sharp. I only pick ours up when necessary wearing gloves. That's only a couple of times a year.

You could buy a hedgehog house like mine for around £30.
Ideally, they need to be under some sort of shelter, up against a side fence if possible.
They need to be slightly off the ground. Mine has four small rubber door stops  as feet and it sits on a small paving slab.

If you put some hay in it, if hedgehogs visit your garden it will soon be occupied.
As ours is contained in our garden, for reasons I've explained before, we have to feed it as it won't find enough natural food.
You don't  to feed wild hedgehogs as the can can travel a long way.

You are unlikely to see them unless they are out and about just before dark. So your dogs should not bother them.

They poo a lot, so I've the daily job of cleaning the patio and giving it a wash down every few days.
