Hedgehogs are generally solitary animals and do not require companions. In the wild, they live alone and only come together for mating. Keeping them in pairs or groups can lead to stress and territorial disputes, as they may not get along well with each other. However, if you are considering getting a hedgehog, it’s best to provide them with plenty of enrichment and interaction with you rather than another hedgehog. This includes toys, tunnels, and regular handling to ensure they are happy and healthy. If you do decide to house multiple hedgehogs, it's crucial to introduce them carefully and monitor their interactions closely to avoid aggression.
