Hedgehogs thrive best in a temperature range of 72°F to 80°F (22°C to 27°C). It’s important to avoid temperatures below 68°F (20°C) as this can lead to hibernation, which is not natural for pet hedgehogs and can be harmful. If your hedgehog experiences temperatures below 60°F (15°C), it can be life-threatening.

To maintain a comfortable environment, consider using a heat lamp or a ceramic heat emitter to provide warmth without creating hot spots. Additionally, ensure that their habitat is in a room away from drafts and direct sunlight. Regularly monitor the temperature with a reliable thermometer to ensure it stays within the ideal range.

If you notice your hedgehog becoming lethargic or showing signs of distress, check the temperature immediately and make adjustments as necessary.
