Urban developments and farming practices have really ruined things for hedgehogs. A paucity of woodland corridors, impenetrable boundary walls and fences, concreted urban spaces and so on, make finding mates, food and shelter incredibly difficult for our snuffly friends.
Climate change has also negatively impacted hibernation periods: warmer temperatures encourage these prickly lovelies to wake up before food is readily available, so nursing mums are less able to equip their young for healthful development. Hibernation periods also become more problematic, as the warmer weather mean 'hogs struggle to build up the fat reserves required to survive winter.
Fun fact: the collective noun for hedgehogs is a 'prickle'.
