Best to welcome it as a visitor, since they don't do well in captivity. Hedgehogs hibernate between November & mid-March. They like to do it in stack of leaves or branches in your garden so make sure you leave something for them as well. They like to nest under things such as sheds, hedges & brushwood & they need plenty of dry leaves to build their nest.
