Background

Introduce legal design and build standards for hedgehog houses. This would ensure those which did not meet the standards could not be legally sold.

Additional details

We believe that there are currently hedgehog houses on sale that do not meet design requirements recommended by experts. We think it possible that hedgehogs may be harmed, or even killed if they hibernate or live in these houses.
