• Sadly Spike has moved on.

    Still going to build a house for him. I've got a spare palette crate I was thinking of using for parts.

    The only thing I'm unsure of is whether to put it on the SW side of the garden as it's higher and dryer than the N and NE and people seem to recommend moist areas.

  • Build it so that you can lift the lid when it is properly hibernating time to see if it is actually being used. November 5th is around the time for hibernating hence many get cooked in bonfires by accident. So you have a month to get it investigated and made. There's loads of info online.
