The gestation period for hedgehogs typically lasts between 30 to 35 days. After this period, the female hedgehog gives birth to a litter of usually 3 to 7 hoglets, although litters can sometimes be larger. It's important for the mother to have a quiet and safe environment during this time, as stress can affect her health and the health of her babies. The hoglets are born blind and hairless, but they will begin to grow quills and open their eyes within a couple of weeks. Providing a nesting area with soft bedding can help ensure the mother and her young are comfortable and secure during this critical time.
