What temperature is safe for hibernating hedgehogs?

Safe Temperature for Hibernating Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs typically hibernate when temperatures drop to around 50°F (10°C) or lower. It's important to ensure that the environment is stable and does not fluctuate too much during this period. Ideal hibernation temperatures range from 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C). If the temperature drops below 40°F (4°C), it may pose a risk to their health. Additionally, make sure that the hedgehog has a safe, dry, and dark space to hibernate, such as a burrow or a nesting box filled with appropriate bedding like shredded paper or hay. Always monitor the hedgehog's weight before hibernation; they should be at a healthy weight to ensure they can survive the hibernation period without waking up too soon due to hunger.
