Hedgehogs are known to enter a state similar to hibernation called torpor. During torpor, hedgehogs lower their body temperature and metabolic rate to conserve energy. This usually happens in the wild during winter when food is scarce. However, pet hedgehogs may also attempt to hibernate if their environment becomes too cold. It's crucial to prevent this as it can be dangerous for them. To avoid hibernation attempts, ensure your hedgehog's habitat is kept between 72-80°F (22-27°C). Provide enough bedding for insulation and monitor the temperature regularly. If you suspect your hedgehog is trying to hibernate, gently warm them up by holding them close to your body or using a heating pad, and consult a veterinarian if needed.
