To care for a pet hedgehog, you will need to provide a suitable habitat with a large cage, bedding material, and a hiding place for them to sleep during the day. Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so they will be most active at night. You should also provide a balanced diet of high-quality cat food, insects, and some fruits and vegetables. Hedgehogs also need regular exercise, so providing a wheel or space for them to roam is important. Regular cleaning of their cage and handling them gently to build trust are also key aspects of caring for a pet hedgehog.
