Hedgehogs

Everything you need to know about owning a pet hedgehog.

Why are they called hedgehogs?

The ‘Hedge’ part of their name comes from where they build their nests hedges, bushes and shrubs. The ‘hog’ part comes from the small snorting/ grunting sound they make which is similar to a pig/warthog.

Hedgehogs are nocturnal which means that they sleep in the day and only come out at night.

I love hedgehogs!!!
