I put new fencing with concrete gravel boards up on the summer. In 3 places something has made a concerted effort to get under. I've been considering finishing the job and exposing the underside of the boards a little - I've been worrying about the lack of permeability of the boundaries. The cats/foxes go over, but I know we have toads and frogs and I worry about them not being able to roam. I don't think we have hedgehogs in the area, sadly.
The digging is fairly contained though, and only locally destructive in each location.

For a (mature) neighbour who wanted her new fence to be more wildlife friendly,
I drilled some holes into the concrete gravel board and knocked out a hole,
(and smoothed off the rough concrete edges), between the full width strengthening ridges, giving a hole about 3-4 inches long and about 2 inches tall.
So might let a young hedgehog through, definitely amphibians, and prevent large carnivores.
