The first two interior paintings in the hedgehog feeding station.

The baffles are finished!
A little over 2 weeks later and the Igel's Nest (hedgehog nesting box) is finished!
Undercoated in mold resistant stain blocking paint, made fully waterproof by 2-3 layers of enamel based paint, topped off with an acrylic based paint for colour and then covered with a few layers of polyvine varnish. This thing should now outlive me!
With a solid resin floor it also makes it easy to keep clean and won't be attractive to woodlice.

Just a tiny bit overkill but at least i won't have to worry about a hedgehog moving in and deciding it's also his toilet anymore.
Cleaning that when it's porous wood, not a fun experience.

The Urch Inn (main hedgehog feeding station) so far, before the baffles are added, resin floor poured, and roof put on.
With the baffles now moved from inside to outside, there's now considerably more space than there used to be

@babe The Urch Inn and The Igle's Nest are top tier names.

@barrowofdirt I cannot take credit for either. They're both absolutely brilliant names

@babe How about putting a bouncer hedgehog figure at the entrance, to help keep out cats.

@jef The entrances will be close to a wall so nowhere to put them

@babe I mean the entrance to the baffles.

@babe I mean the entrance to the baffles.
@jef Yeah, that's what's going to be facing a wall (with about an 11cm gap). The entry way will be to the back of the feeding station, not the front, to act as an extra barrier, making it even more impossible for a cat to navigate

@babe
And hopefully so are the local apex predators.Do you ever get critters try to nest in there? Seems like the ideal spot to raise a small furry family.

@babe If cats evolve opposable thumbs we're blaming you
