Can Hedgehogs Get Sunburned?

Yes, hedgehogs can get sunburned. Their skin is sensitive to direct sunlight, especially if they have light-colored or sparsely quilled areas. It's important to provide shade in their enclosure if they spend time outdoors. If you take your hedgehog outside, make sure they have a shady spot to retreat to. Additionally, you can use pet-safe sunscreen on their exposed skin, such as their ears and nose, to protect them from sunburn.
