Hedgehog

Hedgehogs are small, nocturnal mammals known for their distinctive spiny coats and curious nature. As pets, they require a carefully regulated environment with temperatures between 22-28°C to prevent hibernation attempts. Their diet should consist mainly of high-quality insectivore food supplemented with insects, fruits, and vegetables for balanced nutrition. Hedgehogs need a spacious cage with hiding spots and exercise opportunities, such as wheels, to support their active behavior. Regular gentle handling helps socialize them while maintaining their health through clean enclosures and routine veterinary care ensures a thriving companion.
