How do I know if my hedgehog is too cold or too hot?

Detecting Temperature Comfort for Your Hedgehog

Hedgehogs are sensitive to temperature changes and it's crucial to ensure they are comfortable in their environment. To determine if your hedgehog is too cold or too hot, observe their behavior and monitor their living conditions. Signs of a cold hedgehog include curling into a tight ball, shivering, or seeking warmth by burrowing. On the other hand, if your hedgehog is too hot, they may exhibit signs like panting, lethargy, or seeking cool surfaces. To maintain an ideal temperature for your hedgehog, provide a consistent temperature range of 72-80°F (22-27°C) in their habitat. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust heating sources accordingly. A ceramic heat emitter or a heating pad designed for pets can help regulate the temperature. Always ensure there are areas in the enclosure where your hedgehog can choose to be warmer or cooler. Consulting with a veterinarian specializing in exotic pets can also provide tailored advice for your hedgehog's specific needs.
