Does anyone know about hedgehogs?

While I've been away for a bit one has snuggled itself up against my motorbike tyre and is using the cover as a duvet. I woke it/disturbed it in the day time and its still there now napping.

I'm alright with taking public transport tomorrow if he's still there, but it's obviously not a long term solution.
- Should I just build him a house? If I do, how do I make him relocate?
- how do you make sure a hedgehog house isn't occupied by rats?
- Websites seem to talk a lot about ill or injured hedgehogs - how do you know if they're ill?

Yes. Very easy to do, just use something like a wine crate. There's plenty of websites offering tips on how to build one. Give it hedgehog 'kerb appeal' and it'll move in, so fill it with small, dead leaves, put it in a quiet part of the garden, out the wind.

Cheers.

Re location - I've got a concrete side path / entrance to the garden from the front of the house, and that's where he is.

There are quite a few sensible places in the garden I could put it. Is he likely to go and find it?
