Hedgehogs control slugs in the vegetable garden.
As spring brings increasing warmth, hedgehogs will be waking up from
their winter hibernation. They will need food and water as soon as they
wake up. Meat based pet food and fresh water will keep them in the
garden, so that they are able to eat slugs and snails as well.

Many hedgehogs are injured by garden forks and strimmers, so it is worth
being careful when tidying up places they use to nest.

can control slugs, is at www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk
