The hedgehog does not respond to the noise of mowing equipment by fleeing but instead curls up even tighter when in danger. Robotic lawn mowers that operate unsupervised also pose a threat to hedgehogs, which roam the garden sniffing around at dusk or during the night. They are often hit in the face by the lawn mowers, resulting in severe injuries.
In the information image, you can see how to be cautious and help hedgehogs:
-
Mow tall grass with care.
-
Do not run robotic lawn mowers at dusk or during the night. Small hedgehogs may also be searching for food during the day.
-
Do not let robotic mowers operate unsupervised and avoid models with fixed blades.
