Hedgehog lime wood hand-carved

The hedgehog is "Wild Animal of the Year 2024". And quite rightly so, because it is your patented ally in the fight against garden pests. It feeds on larvae, caterpillars and numerous insects, and occasionally snails are also on its varied menu. In your garden, it is best to create a few untidy places with piles of leaves or dead wood for the agile prickly animal. They will find shelter in these all year round and also have the opportunity to set up a frost-protected hibernation area. Just make sure that there are opportunities for hedgehogs to slip through at the boundaries of the property. A hedgehog's territory is large, and the best shelter is of no use to the loyal animal if it cannot get through to it.

In other words: where the hedgehog settles, that's where it feels at home. Just like our convincingly lifelike, hand-carved replica made of lime wood, which may well find a home in your garden shed or in a sheltered spot on the balcony or patio. This hedgehog comes from villages in Manchuria, where the art of carving has a long tradition. Farmers in the region use these and other carvings to fill the long winter months and earn an additional income. The water-based paints used to paint the wood are also applied by hand.
