Q: What is the difference between this hedgehog and the other walking hedgehogs in the range?
This compact hedgehog (14x11xH9cm, 270 g) is a unique format individual, with no specific orientation (no right/left), no specific style (no soft), no variable format (no multi-size collection). It is the simplest and most straightforward garden hedgehog in the range — a unique format, a naturalistic walking posture, a careful level of detail. It is precisely its versatility and accessibility that make it a good entry point into the range.
Q: Can this hedgehog stay outside all year round?
Yes for balcony and terrace — the polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. For a garden with full exposure, a slightly sheltered location (in a pot, at the foot of a shrub) is preferable to preserve the painted details over the long term. Its relative lightness (270 g) makes it sensitive to wind on a very exposed surface — in a pot or against a wall, it is perfectly stable.
Q : Can it be combined with the left/right turned hedgehogs from the range?
Yes — and it is even a natural composition. This non-oriented hedgehog can be placed anywhere without directional constraints. Combined with the left-turned hedgehog and the right-turned hedgehog, it forms a group of three with different looks — like three hedgehogs each exploring in their own direction.
Q : Is it a good gift for someone who is starting to decorate their garden?
It is even the ideal gift for this profile. Simple, readable, beautiful — this compact hedgehog requires no explanation. It fits into all gardens, all terraces, all styles. It is the quintessential accessible garden gift that speaks immediately to everyone.
Q : Is this hedgehog to scale?
Yes, approximately. An adult European hedgehog measures 20 to 30 cm long in an extended position. At 14 cm in a compact walking position (body slightly curled), this size corresponds to an adult hedgehog in its natural movement posture. It is not a miniature — it is a life-sized hedgehog in its daily posture.
