African hedgehogs typically live for about 3 to 7 years in captivity, although some can live longer with proper care. Factors such as diet, environment, and genetics can influence their lifespan. In the wild, their lifespan is generally shorter due to predators and other environmental challenges. Proper veterinary care and a suitable habitat can help maximize their lifespan.
