Us Brits are a flora and fauna-loving nation, spending over £2 billion a year on plants and flowers. But did you know that some of these could be putting your furbaby at serious risk? Although most are safe and might just cause some irritation or sneezing, there are at least 150 varieties that are toxic to cats.
We get questions from a lot of people worried about whether their dog might attack hedgehogs in the garden. Others worry about hedgehogs hurting the dog – or passing on parasites or diseases. So will hedgehogs and dogs be safe together in the garden? Although there are exceptions, as a general rule the two should be able to safely share the same space.
If you want happy hogs in your garden, you need to have plenty of the bugs they like to eat. That means growing the plants that the bugs like to eat. The right plants can provide important hedgehog habitat too. So let’s look at which plants are best for hedgehogs
Hedgehogs are one of our most loved wild animals here in the UK. But their numbers are in decline, and they are not the common sight they used to be. So it’s a real treat to realise that you have one in the garden. How do you know you have a hedgehog in the garden? … Read more

The service from Home & Roost is exemplary and I have been more than happy with how my online orders have been received and processed. Delivery is always quick and my goods are very well packaged. I would much rather support a family business than a national chain, so Home & Roost will always get my custom!
Bought a double hutch and run for our guinea pigs and they were super helpful. Little chocolate Freddo in one box and Harribo in the other for the kids to munch on while daddy built the hutch & run. Great communication / customer service, fab. products and they're lovely too. Highly recommended them!
I 1000% recommend home and roost, there hutches are very well made, the wood is thick and there super sturdy when together, I did have a few issues with a missing door and divider and also a few cracked parts however their customer service team are 5⭐️ and sorted everything for me the same day and sent new parts out I will defiantly be using again
Such a helpful man who went the extra mile to ensure that the carrier had precise instructions on where to leave the hedgehog house and food etc., as the recipient would be out. He was polite and eager to help.
Wow I’ve been blown away by the amazing service and quality of product with Home and Roost. I literally knew nothing and they were so helpful! Even told me how I could get a discount and generally made me feel like I was in an exciting journey and not just a customer! I especially loved the lollipop when I opened the packaging! Which was all all plastic free and that pleases me greatly too!! 👍👍👍👍
Great products, but what impressed me most was the speed at which I received them. Who expects an online order to arrive the following day (or early the day after that, my memory fails me)? Certainly not me, but sure enough there it was! Amazing service, thank you!
