Hedgehogs typically begin to hibernate when temperatures drop to around 50°F (10°C) or lower. During hibernation, their body temperature can lower to about 40°F (4°C), and their metabolic rate decreases significantly. It's important for hedgehog owners to provide a suitable environment that mimics these conditions if they are caring for a hedgehog that may hibernate. This includes a cool, dark, and quiet space where the hedgehog can feel safe and secure. If you are keeping a pet hedgehog, be mindful that not all hedgehogs will hibernate, especially if they are kept indoors where the temperature is more stable. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific advice on your hedgehog's needs.
