Hedgehogs are Britain's only spiny mamals; their highly specialised coat contains around 6, 000 creamy-brown spines & hangs around their body in a loose-ish ‘skirt’ concealing greyish fur on their underside & have surpirisingly long legs & a short tail. If you want to attract wildlife to your garden leave wild areas & avoid tidying up too much. Hedgehogs tend to hibernate between November & mid March & may choose the stack of leaves or branches in your garden, for this reason, if you have to get rid of such material then it's always advisable to move it to a different spot first before burning it
