How Often Do Hedgehogs Have Babies?

This episode of Ask Quilly answers “How often do hedgehogs have babies”, from the perspective of ethical breeding, which isn't always straight forward. Breeders have become very knowledgeable about the frequency of hedgehog breeding in terms of safety for the mother and the hoglets that are born. If you'd like to learn more about the need for ethical hedgehog breeders, please read our discussion and conclusions here. That topic is too involved for a short educational video.

Also, if you'd like to take learn more about the hedgie birth process all the way through weaning, please read here. These two articles should provide you with a good overall knowledge of the birth-through-weaning process.

Hey hedgie fans! I’m Quilly and I live at heavenlyhedgies.com. I love answering your questions!

Today’s question comes from Addison, who lives in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
Addison asked, “How often do hedgehogs have babies?”
Well Addison, for the well-being of the mother hedgehog, I don’t recommend breeding more than twice per year. Given birth is very, very hard on mama hedgehog. So it’s very important to respect her body and mental wellness.

That was a very important question! Thank you Addison.
