Hedgehogs do not require UVB light as some reptiles do. Unlike reptiles, hedgehogs are nocturnal mammals and their natural habitat does not expose them to UVB rays in the same way. However, providing a proper light cycle can help mimic their natural environment. It’s important to ensure that they have a day and night cycle with around 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. If you are keeping hedgehogs indoors, you can use regular daylight bulbs to help simulate this cycle.

While UVB light is not necessary, it’s crucial to ensure they have a warm environment, as hedgehogs thrive in temperatures between 75°F to 80°F (24°C to 27°C). Make sure to provide a warm spot in their habitat that they can retreat to.

If you have concerns about their health or if you notice any unusual behaviors, it’s always best to consult with a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets.
