Hedgehogs need hiding spots for several reasons. In the wild, hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, which means they are most active during the night. Hiding spots provide them with a sense of security and comfort during the day when they rest. Additionally, hedgehogs are solitary animals that prefer to have their own space. Having hiding spots allows them to retreat to a secluded area where they can feel safe and reduce stress. These hiding spots also mimic their natural habitat, such as burrows or dense vegetation, which helps hedgehogs exhibit their natural behaviors. Providing hiding spots in their enclosure can help hedgehogs regulate their body temperature and feel more at ease in their environment.
