OK I need some suggestions. I asked the person building my new fence

a couple of hedgehog highways in the base, but he forgot, and I could not

as the

panels can
of course be pulled out. So Should I try to dig littleÂ* tunnels under the
concrete about 6 inches deep and line them with something to create them?

That is exactly what the foxes have done around my way to get to the
various gardens even though they can also jump from shed to shed roofs
and use compost daleks as a step.

Personally I would bother lining them.

Foxes dug a hole under the fence twixt me an neighbour so that they
could knock the peanut feeder stand over, but has also been seen
jumping/scrambling over 6 foot panel fences.

Hedgehogs are quite good at climbing, as has been shown on TV
programs about hedgehog highways so making a hole in the panel
above the gravel board would do. Just add a housebrick each side
as a stepping stone ifyou want to help.
