Yes, hedgehogs definitely benefit from having a hideout in their habitat. As nocturnal animals, they often seek out dark, cozy places to sleep during the day. A hideout provides them with a sense of security and helps reduce stress. You can create a hideout using various materials, such as a small cardboard box, a wooden house, or a commercially available hedgehog hide. Make sure it’s large enough for your hedgehog to curl up comfortably but not too big that it feels exposed. Additionally, placing some soft bedding inside, like shredded paper or fleece, can enhance their comfort. Remember to clean the hideout regularly to maintain hygiene.
