It’s small, discreet, and nearly invisible among the flowers. Yet, its mere presence can stir up a thousand emotions. The hedgehog, this nighttime visitor, never arrives by accident. If you happen to encounter one in your garden, know that this little creature brings with it a message, a sign, or perhaps even the beginning of a silent transformation in your life.
An Increasingly Rare Visitor
The hedgehog, once a familiar sight in our countryside and neighborhoods, is now becoming more elusive. In France alone, it is estimated that a million hedgehogs die each year on the roads. Pollution, pesticides, vanishing hedges, and road traffic all pose significant dangers to them. Though harmless and helpful, the hedgehog is now classified as an endangered and protected species.
It’s worth noting that the hedgehog is a valuable ally to gardeners. A natural helper, it feeds on slugs, worms, snails, and other harmful insects. Its presence ensures a balanced ecosystem in your garden—without the need for chemicals.
