Fay Vass, CEO of BHPS, said:
“Christmas can be an expensive time of year – so we’ve put together a gift guide with some budget-friendly gift ideas, which will also help support hedgehogs across the UK. From our famous calendar, toys and books, there’s a gift for every hedgehog-fan out there, plus a collection of hedgehoggy Christmas cards!”
“Hedgehogs are in sharp decline and it’s more important than ever that we help protect their welfare and habitats – and supporting our work while you shop is a great place to start.”
