How long do hedge hogs hibernate for?
Some hedgehogs can hybernate for up to 2 years and when they awaken they perform a ritual where they find a small rat/mole and proceed to spread the blood in a circle around their nesting area then they will call upon the Lord their saviour and transport to heaven.
I agree with all lukem.c is saying exept the part where he tells us the hedgehogs hibernate for 2 years. It is infact 8 years, sorry for any confusion
Can hedgehogs eat peppermints?
Hedgehogs can only eat special peppermints from Hedgy's Hedgehog Hut in Queens, New York. Just make sure your hedgehog doesn't get jumped.
How long do albino hedgehogs live?
Actually there is no such thing as a true albino guinea pig. Albinism is a genetic condition that cannot occur in guinea pigs. The correct term is "pink-eyed white" or just PEW for short. It is simply a type of coat and eye color combination. A PEW has the same lifespan as any other color of guinea pig.
However, there is a type of white guinea pig that usually doesn't live as long as other guinea pigs. This type is called lethal white and this genetic problem occurs when two dalmatian, two roan or a dalmatian and a roan guinea pig are bred together. Babies born with two genes for the dalmatian/roan coat pattern are born pure white, blind and usually with other serious medical issues. Most are deaf and have serious dental issues as well. The majority of these pups die within hours of birth because of problems with the GI tract but the rare one can live a couple of years or longer if cared for properly.

make sure you take the hedgehog where you think you need to release it. its important to release a hedgehog back to the wild but if you found it as a baby without parents you can keep it. Feed It Crickets or cat food! your lucky if you have a cat! I caught a hedgehog 2 years ago and feed it some cat food it loved it. but some hedgehogs don't like cat food So you will need to feed it crickets.(Don't Give it gold rings That's just in sonic!) You can Also Find crickets in Petland, Petco Or other Pet Stores! if you want to catch crickets look in grassy places! Hope This Help!

All mammals evolved from a group of mammal-like reptiles call Cynodonts. The hedgehog lineage goes back to the time of the earliest mammals, 60-70 million years ago (mya). The ancestors of today's hedgehogs migrated from North America to Asia and then to Europe and Africa 58 - 23 mya. The fossil record is not very good, so it is difficult to determine exactly what species were the ancestors of today's hedgehogs.
Does a hedgehog have to be spayed or neutered?
No. Unless the animal has reproductive deformities or cancer, it is actually dangerous to perform the surgery. There is no need to have them spayed or neutered if you are being a responsible owner.
What does a hedgehog do to prepare for hibernation?
because the winter is too cold
Hedgehogs hibernate because of a lack of food or a lack of warmth, so their body shuts down and is unable to function as they are not technically adapt to hibernation, only use it as a tool to prolong life.
Hedgehog pictures can be found online at the link I have posted.
What food does wild hedgehogs eat?
Research shows that the diet of a wild hedgehog is
- Beetles & Larvae 28%
- Caterpillars 25%
- Earthworms 18%
- Millipedes and Earwigs 13%
- Eggs and small dead mammals (if found on the ground) 6%
- Slugs & Snails 5%
- Bees, Birds and others 5%
Contrary to popular opinion, the bulk of a wild hedgehog's diet is not made up of slugs and snails and considering the volumes of both of these that are available to them, the fact that they eat so few would indicate they do so pretty much as a last resort.
Slugs and snails are intermediate hosts for lungworm, a parasite that can be fatal to a hedgehog causing respiratory problems often leading to pneumonia and death if not treated.
European Hedgehogs have been in decline over the past 10 years and are now marked as a protected species on the European Biodiversity List. It's estimated that we have lost 50% of the population and a continued decline will see them become extinct by 2020.
To assist their fight for survival you can help in many ways but perhaps the simplest is to provide food and water. Hedgehogs will happily eat meat (no gravy) and small biscuits bought for cats and dogs. They will also normally go for crushed unsaltedpeanuts, dried mealworms, sultanas and specialist food sold specifically for Hogs.
Do not give bread and milkHedgehogs will eat bread and drink milk if there is nothing else around but neither is good for them.Bread has no vitamins or minerals in it, it swells up in the stomach making the animal feel full so it doesn't bother to search for more nutritious food.
All hedgehogs are lactose intolerant. Most milk contains lactose, cow's milk is particularly high in it. If you feed this to a hedgehog it will get diarrhoea, dehydrate and die.

First, determine what the cause of the shivering is. It is most likely due to fear or low body temperature. If your hedgehog is newly adjusting to its home, it may just be scared. Make sure he/she has something to hide in, and give them time to adjust to new surroundings. If it is due to the cold, you could brave the quills and take a kangaroo-care approach, i.e. holding the hedgehog against your stomach under a towel to share body heat. Or, you could fill a quart size ziploc bag with hot water, then put that in a bigger plastic bag to reduce risk of leaks, and set a towel over that. Set your hedgehog on it and it's a makeshift heat pad until you buy a real one.
What is the most a human heart beats per minute?
the average is 70 but sports training will condition the heart to beat slower. Jean claude Van Damme in his best days of physical shape had a heart beat of 50 pulse per minute. that is outstanding shape. Never the less you have to concider also that low heart beat can mean a bad heart condition also since a previous heart attack can make your heart beat slower for the rest of your life.
How does the hedgehog affect other plants and animals?
In the wild a hedgehog may try and eat some grass as fiber, but they are primarily insectivores so they have a diet of bugs and berries mostly. Domestic hedgeghogs don't need it. They get their fiber from their other food.

What do hedgehogs do in the day?
First, they will put their horns (facial quills) down against the ground and hiss, pop, click, or growl.
If that doesn't scare the offender off, they will roll into a ball and repeat the vocalizations (except for growling, that's more a warning and less aggressive).
Sometimes, they will chase/bite first, but it's rare.

The wolf because wolves have much more strength than otters and could probably eat the otter.
What do you do with a sick hedgehog?
To an EXOTIC vet. A regular vet will probably not know how to care for an exotic like a hedgehog - this is why you should always have a vet picked out before you get your hedgie.
How big of a cage do you need for 1 hedgehog?
I love hedgehogs, they are THE cutest things ever! Back to the question. Sometimes, if you put straw, grass, cotton, wheat, or weeds in a hedgehog cage or it's habitat, it will make a little nest of it's own. All hedgehogs have instincts, and one is making a home for itself. However, if the hedgehog doesn't make a home or nest, here is how to make one:
Here is what you will need:
* a bucket, small cardboard box, or anything else enclosed on the SIDES (they don't prefer bright colors, go for a natural brown or green)
* straw, grass, wheat, cotton, or weeds (they mostly prefer cotton and straw)
First, you will want to take the bucket and set it in front of you. Next, place the straw, grass, cotton, wheat, or weeds into your bucket. Then, use your hands and make sort of a little scoop in the material. To do this, cup your hand, and start pressing down the material. If you keep this up, it will create a sort of scoop or dip within the "nest." If you follow these excact steps, you will make THE perfect home for your little baby! Trust me, I would know! Thank You!
hedgehogs are not currently extinct For one thing, the cannot currently be extinct. Once something is extinct, it's extinct forever.
And no, hedgehogs are not extinct yet.
You can feed them cat food , kitten food when younger and cat food when it gets older. Also many online store have hedgehog food just look it up. Finally they will eat mealworms,many fruits and veggies but these are considered treats and should not be feed to them daily
