Hedgehogs typically have a lifespan ranging from 3 to 7 years in captivity, although some can live up to 10 years with proper care. The lifespan can vary based on factors such as diet, habitat, genetics, and overall health. For instance, hedgehogs that are well cared for, with a balanced diet and regular veterinary check-ups, tend to live longer. In the wild, their lifespan is generally shorter due to predators, environmental hazards, and disease. To ensure your pet hedgehog lives a long and healthy life, provide a suitable habitat, a nutritious diet rich in protein, and regular exercise. Additionally, keep an eye out for any signs of illness and consult a veterinarian experienced with hedgehogs if you notice any changes in behavior or health.
