x/royal-society-for-the-prevention-of-cruelty-to-animals
— 2d
Experts say you can attract hedgehogs to your garden this autumn by leaving out a small amount of tinned meaty cat or dog food (and crushed biscuits), while avoiding milk and bread; place it in shallow bowls and refresh daily. For bees and other beneficial insects, let fallen leaves and some dead stems remain through fall and winter to provide natural nesting and overwintering habitat, reducing the need for heavy autumn cleanup.
