Can Hedgehogs Climb?

With their short little legs and their round little bodies, one would wonder whether hedgehogs can climb or not. They certainly have the ability to curl into a ball of prickly spines! In this episode, Quilly talks about a hedgehog's climbing abilities and inabilities.

Hey hedgie fans. I’m Quilly from heavenlyhedgies.com and I’m here to answer your questions.

Today’s question comes from Sarah who lives in Long Island, New York. Thanks for writing in Sarah.
Sarah asked, “Can hedgehogs climb?”

I’m glad you asked that. As a matter of fact Sarah, we climb very well.
Don’t let my climbing gear fool you. My friends and I can climb anything that has a ledge or horizontal bars where we can get a foothold. Please keep that in mind whenever you set up a habitat.

That’s it for today’s questions. I think I’ll tackle that rock face you see behind me.

I’d like to answer your question too. So please leave it in the comments section below or on my website at heavenlyhedgies.com.
