What are the signs that a hedgehog is preparing to hibernate?

Signs of Hedgehog Preparing to Hibernate

Hedgehogs are not true hibernators like some other animals, but they do go into a state called torpor where they can exhibit behaviors similar to hibernation. Signs that a hedgehog is preparing to enter torpor include: decreased activity level, weight loss, seeking out a warm place to nest, and decreased heart rate and body temperature. It's essential to monitor your hedgehog closely if you suspect it is entering torpor to ensure it is not in distress.
