Dr Toni Bunnell said “The problem now is garden makeovers. They’ve been an unprecedented disaster this year. We are getting lots and lots of mothers and babies disturbed by the bulldozers – the mother can make off but the babies have to be rescued.”
“In the past people have maybe put out a few flowers. Now they are having the whole garden demolished. Everything goes – trees, shrubs, the lot.”
Lorraine Jackson, who runs the Hull Animal Welfare Trust’s Hedgehog Hospital, said: “The makeover programmes on television have a lot to answer for.”
Extreme(ly ugly), wildlife-unfriendly 'makeovers', including for swathes of car-parking, deprive hedgehogs and other species of places to live and feed
