The ideal temperature for a hedgehog is between 72°F and 80°F (22°C to 27°C). Hedgehogs are sensitive to temperature changes, and they thrive in a warm, stable environment. If the temperature drops below 65°F (18°C), hedgehogs may enter a state of hibernation, which can be dangerous for them in captivity. To maintain a suitable temperature, consider using a heat lamp or a heating pad designed for pets, ensuring it is placed safely outside their sleeping area to prevent overheating. Additionally, always monitor the temperature with a thermometer to ensure it stays within the ideal range. Regularly check your hedgehog's behavior; if they seem lethargic or are burrowing excessively, it may be a sign that they are too cold or too warm. Keeping their habitat in the recommended temperature range will help ensure your hedgehog remains healthy and active.
