Q: What is the difference between these sitting hedgehogs and the other hedgehogs in the range?
The posture. The hedgehogs in motion (collection of 4 sizes) and the turned hedgehog are represented in motion — horizontal body, snout facing forward or to the side. These sitting hedgehogs are in a static and vertical posture — upright body, raised snout — which gives them a softer and more decorative character. The two families complement each other perfectly in the same composition.
Q: How many sizes are available exactly?
The technical sheet lists 4 dimensions (11.5x7.5xH7.5cm, 14x11xH9.5cm, 20x14xH14cm, 24x16xH17cm) with 3 distinct weights (230 g, 800 g, 1 kg). The gradation ranges from very compact (~8 cm high) to generous (~17 cm high) — a complete family that allows for composition according to the available space.
Q: Can these hedgehogs stay outside all year round?
Yes for balcony and terrace — the polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and treated for UV resistance. The technical sheet mentions balcony & terrace. For a garden on the ground in full exposure, a slightly sheltered location is preferable to preserve the hand-painted details. In a covered balcony, no precautions are necessary.
Q: Is this a good gift for a gardener or a nature friend?
Excellent — especially if you give all three sizes together. A complete family of sitting hedgehogs, from the smallest to the largest, is an immediately readable and heartwarming gift for any garden lover. The hedgehog is universally perceived as the symbol of a natural and living garden — its sitting posture, soft and round, makes it even more accessible and universal.
Q: Can we mix sitting hedgehogs and walking hedgehogs in the same composition?
Yes, and it is even recommended. The diversity of postures enriches the composition — a sitting hedgehog (static, nose up) and a walking hedgehog (dynamic, oriented) side by side tell a micro-natural scene, as if one just stopped while the other continues on its way.
