What should I do if my hedgehog is overheated?

Handling an Overheated Hedgehog

If your hedgehog is overheated, it's crucial to act quickly to cool them down to prevent heatstroke. Move your hedgehog to a cooler area immediately, such as a room with air conditioning or a fan. You can also place a cool, damp towel in their cage for them to lie on. Avoid using ice packs or very cold water directly on your hedgehog, as sudden temperature changes can be harmful. Make sure they have access to fresh water to stay hydrated. Monitor your hedgehog closely and if they show signs of distress or don't improve, seek veterinary help.
