Yes. European hedgehogs in the UK can have litters well into October. Every year many of these hoglets (called 'autumn orphans') fail to survive the winter because they do not have enough time to lay down fat before their food resource disappears.

Hedgehogs typically do not sleep in trees; they are ground-dwelling animals that prefer to nest in burrows, underbrush, or leaf litter. While they are capable climbers, they generally stay close to the ground for safety and to find food.
