Baby hedgehogs, or hoglets, require a warm environment to thrive, especially in their early weeks of life. The ideal temperature for baby hedgehogs is between 75°F to 80°F (24°C to 27°C). If the temperature drops below this range, they can become lethargic and may not feed properly.

To maintain this temperature, you can use a heat lamp or a heating pad set on low, ensuring that it does not directly touch the bedding to avoid burns. It's also essential to monitor the temperature regularly with a thermometer to ensure it's within the safe range.

Additionally, providing a cozy nesting area with soft bedding will help them retain heat. If you notice that the baby hedgehogs are huddling together, it can be a sign that they are trying to keep warm, so adjusting the temperature may be necessary. Always prioritize their comfort and warmth, especially during the first few weeks of life.
