| This is a house I made for hedgehog babies after finding a dead baby in Hansel's bed, thought I might have more and would need somewhere to put them. It has a sleeping box with a heater made with a tin can and 10watt bulb which is underneath the bed, and when its on it keeps the wooden boards nice and warm, there is also a place to put a cam, it can easily be moved to any part of the bed without making any noise, so very handy not to disturb the visitors. |
| Showing how the cam can fit anywhere on the long wooden frame, with the hog nest underneath, the frame can slide back and fore over the nest, and the cam can slide backwards and forwards on the frame as well, so can be positioned just where you need it quickly and quietly if hoggy is in residence |
| And here it is set up, with the cam which can slide back and fore, and the frame can move along the wood to the other side. |
| The caged feeding place is at the back under the bench in the shelter, it can be pulled out if in use, it has a shutter door which can be opened to let hogs have free use of the shelter, or closed if the hoggies need to be kept in. The hog nest is in the front, and can be viewed by lifting the hinged lid, the nest is lined with newspaper, then hay mixed with straw for their bed, very easy to to lift the lid, take a hog out, or clean their bed. The box fixed on the front is a light sensor, it makes the light come on to tell me something is in the hog shelter. In this pic you can see the cam is on the other side, you just slide it along to where you you need it. |

| Underneath is the tin can with ten watt bulb inside, the tin is touching the floor boards, so keeps them warm. Can add more bulbs to heat more floorboards. |
