Can I wake up my hedgehog during hibernation?

Waking Up a Hedgehog During Hibernation

Waking up a hedgehog during hibernation is generally not recommended. Hedgehogs hibernate as a natural response to cold temperatures and reduced food availability, allowing them to conserve energy. Disturbing them can lead to stress and health issues. If you believe your hedgehog is hibernating, it’s best to ensure that their environment is warm enough (around 75-80°F) to encourage them to wake up naturally. If you need to check on your hedgehog, try gently warming them up by placing them in a warmer environment, but avoid waking them abruptly. If you are concerned about their health or if they seem to be hibernating longer than usual, consult a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets for guidance.
