Some can - but this DOES NOT mean they should.

Hedgehogs are SOLITARY creatures. Attempting to change their nature to suit our perception of animal loneliness is wrong. Almost all hedgehogs are safer, healthier, and happier living alone.

Some females cannot be house with any other females. Some do fine. However it is a bad idea for several reasons....

  • Just about the only way to catch a hedgehog illness early is to carefully monitor food and water intake as well as bowel movements. If two animals are living in a cage, how do you know who is doing what? You don't.
  • Hedgehogs can sometimes be very territorial and aggressive - even females - as they are solitary animals. They often fight, and it can be gruesome and fatal. Even if it isn't, it will end up in a lot of vet bills and emotional trauma for the owner.
  • Even if they don't fight, they'll still get into scuffles, which can cause injury.
  • They can also accidentally injure eachother with their quills - and easily put one anothers eyes out before. It has happened several times with owners who have attempted co-housing animals.

Can male hedgehogs lay eggs?

First off, the hedgehog is a male so naturally they do not have any eggs inside of their body. Females have the eggs, not males. Secondly, hedgehogs are mammals and since the only two mammals on the planet which the female of the species can lay eggs are the platypus and the echidna, both of which happen to be from Australia.
