Yes, hedgehogs are known to hibernate in the wild. However, pet hedgehogs may not hibernate if they are kept in a warm and consistent environment. Hibernation is a natural process for hedgehogs in the wild to conserve energy during the colder months when food is scarce. During hibernation, a hedgehog's body temperature drops, its heart rate slows down, and it enters a state of torpor. If a pet hedgehog attempts to hibernate due to a drop in temperature in its enclosure, it can be dangerous and even life-threatening.
