Yes, hedgehogs can experience anxiety, much like many other pets. They are sensitive creatures and can become stressed due to changes in their environment, handling, or even loud noises. Signs of anxiety in hedgehogs may include hiding, excessive quilling, or becoming defensive when approached. To help reduce anxiety, provide a consistent and quiet environment, offer hiding spots in their habitat, and handle them gently and infrequently until they become accustomed to you. Additionally, playing soft music or using a night light can create a calming atmosphere for your hedgehog.
