What are the signs that my hedgehog is overheating?

Signs of Overheating in Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are sensitive to high temperatures and can easily overheat, leading to health issues. Signs that your hedgehog may be overheating include excessive panting, lethargy, drooling, and seeking out cool areas in their habitat. You may also notice their belly feeling hot to the touch or them spreading out flat on the ground to cool down. To prevent overheating, ensure their environment stays between 72-80°F (22-27°C), provide a ceramic cooling plate or a chilled ceramic tile in their enclosure, and avoid placing their habitat in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
