Hedgehogs need high-protein, low-fat diets — quality kibble plus occasional insects and fresh foods.
Hedgehog Care Guide
Hedgehogs are solitary, nocturnal insectivores who need patience and consistent daily handling to become comfortable with people. They require warm temperatures (72–80°F), a large flat-floor cage, a solid-surface wheel for nightly running, and a lean, high-protein diet.
Quick Care Facts
- Diet: Quality low-fat, high-protein hedgehog or cat kibble plus live insects
- Lifespan: 3–6 years
- Temperature: Keep 72–80°F — hibernation attempts can be fatal
- Social: Strictly solitary — housing together causes stress
- Handling: Requires daily 20–30 min interaction to stay tame
