The giveaway is part of National Hedgehog Awareness Week.
Hedgehog numbers have declined by up to 75% in rural areas and 30% in towns across Britain since 2000.
A spokesperson for East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “Residents are also encouraged to create their own hogways, by cutting hedgehog-sized openings in their gates and fences where a lack of gaps presently excludes spiny visitors”.
People are also asked to report sightings online to the Hedgehog Preservation Society’s Big Hedgehog Map., external
Councillor Paul West said: “We’re delighted to promote the environment in the East Riding, and this is a fantastic way we can play our part to support local wildlife.
“We encourage all residents to install their own hogways, and log any hedgehogs they see.”
