Hedgehogs are generally solitary animals by nature, and it is not recommended to keep them in pairs. In the wild, they prefer to live alone, and this behavior is often reflected in captivity. When housed together, hedgehogs can become territorial and may fight, leading to stress and injury.

If you are considering having more than one hedgehog, it's essential to introduce them carefully and monitor their interactions closely. Some hedgehogs may tolerate the presence of another, but this is not the norm. If you do choose to keep them together, ensure that they have separate hiding places and enough space to avoid each other if they choose.

In general, it is best to keep hedgehogs individually to ensure their health and well-being. If you want to provide social interaction, consider spending quality time with each hedgehog separately to meet their social needs without the risks associated with cohabitation.
