Hedgehog House Cameras

Discover hedgehog box cameras 

Hedgehog houses or boxes not only provide a safe and secure environment for your local hedgehogs to snuggle and sniffle away, but also a way for you to observe them as they do. Our easy-to-install Wi-Fi and wired hedgehog cameras inside handmade wooden shelters protect hedgehogs from both the elements and predators, allowing you to watch them in 1080p HD. Already have a hedgehog house? You can purchase one of our hedgehog house cameras instead of an all-in-one hedgehog box camera kit.

Frequently asked questions about hedgehog house cameras

Are Wi-Fi or wired hedgehog cameras better?

The best camera for a hedgehog house will depend on where you are at night! As hedgehogs are nocturnal, the type of hedgehog camera best suited for you will depend on where you are during these hours. 

If you’d like night-long access to your camera, whether you’re on the night shift, on holiday or wandering around the house, Wi-Fi-enabled hedgehog box cameras will be far more accessible for you. However, if you’re planning to sit down and observe your hedgehogs as part of your nightly routine, a wired hedgehog box camera to a TV or monitor can be cheaper and still suitable. 

Plus, you’ll need to consider connectivity and your hedgehog camera setup. Wired cameras can offer a more stable and long-range connection – especially if you struggle with poor Wi-Fi – but the trade-off is that you’ll have to install and cover the wires outside. If you don’t want to deal with wires in your garden, a wireless Wi-Fi-enabled hedgehog camera kit will be best.

How can I watch hedgehogs at night?

As hedgehogs are nocturnal creatures, you need specific technology to watch them get up to mischief at night. Our cameras use night-vision LEDs with invisible infrared lights so that you can observe your local hedgehogs in the dark, without disturbing them. 

What’s the best camera for filming hedgehogs at night?

Always choose a hedgehog night vision camera when trying to capture hedgehog footage.  Hedgehogs are nocturnal creatures, so all of the best footage of them will be captured when it’s dark.

A generic outdoor camera won’t be able to capture high-quality footage in the dark. You need a night-vision camera like our Wi-Fi HD Hedgehog House Camera to observe these fascinating creatures when they’re most active. Our hedgehog night cameras (both standalone and as part of our hedgehog box with camera kits) are the best wildlife cameras for hedgehogs because they use night-vision LEDs to ensure you get the highest-quality footage of your prickly friends, no matter what time it is.

What time of night are hedgehogs most active? 

In the UK, hedgehogs are active during the dark hours. You may begin to see them crawling out of their habitats after dusk, but they get most active once the sky is completely dark. Before daylight hours approach, hedgehogs will go back into the habitat until night again. Hedgehogs out in daylight may be injured, pregnant, or mother hedgehogs searching for food. 

During the autumn and winter months, do not be alarmed that you can’t see your hedgehogs. Hedgehogs hibernate from October/November through to March/April. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to have a hedgehog hibernate in your box! 

What do hedgehogs eat?

To look after your local hedgehogs and encourage them to stay in your garden, you may want to provide them with some hedgehog-safe foods. Hedgehogs are opportunistic omnivores, and they mostly eat invertebrates, carrion and fruit. We would recommend leaving out some meat-based dog or cat food for them, such as dry cat biscuits. However, you can also provide specialist hedgehog food for the best results – this should keep them healthy and coming back for more!
