I wouldn't think it'd be a problem as you don't hear reports of rats in hedgehog boxes and if ever there was one, I'm sure the Daily Fail would have reported some some of impending rat invasion and told everyone to burn there hedgehog homes, so we'd have heard about it! <br /><br />That said, I suppose they would live anywhere! We have brown rats in the garden (I don't mind them, they're nature too, part of the ecosystem like everything else) and they just scurrying along the hedgerows, pope out for a bit of fallen seed and then disappear again. I've never discovered them nesting anywhere. Don't they tunnel underground a bit too? Maybe I've made that up, but perhaps I've read it somewhere! <br /><br />You can but try. See what moves in and if you get a rat problem you can deal with it in future!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145204454018220074.post-50179605068505925532015-07-02T23:01:57.845+01:002015-07-02T23:01:57.845+01:00I had thought of making a Hedgehog home behind the...I had thought of making a Hedgehog home behind the large patch of Bamboo we have as it stays quite dry there and we have a hole in the fence for them there too, just worried rats might live in it though, we do get the odd one because of the bird food...<br />Amanda xx Amanda Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760505541954557539noreply@blogger.com
