Hey hedgie fans! My name is Quilly and I answer your questions about hedgehogs.

My friend Manos wrote and asked, “What temperature should a hedgehog live in?“
Hedgehogs are most comfortable between 74° and 76°F, which is 23° to 24°C.
If the temperature gets too low, your hedgehog may ball up and try and go into hibernation, which could be fatal.
If the temperature is too high, which is above 80°F or 27°C, your hedgehog could be headed towards heat stroke.
In either case, a temperature too high or too low is not healthy for a hedgehog.

You don’t have to keep your whole house within these temperatures, but their habitat should definitely be temperature controlled.

I hope that answers your question Manos. Thank you for asking.
