Hello! Hedgehogs need a good hiding spot for them to feel safe and to sleep without being disturbed. Aside from keeping safe and to sleep, these hiding spots are for hedgehogs to hibernate, recover, and to raise their young. These can help you choose a suitable hiding spot for the hedgehogs.

Meet Siegfried, the curious explorer of Hedgehog Sanctuary! He doesn't fear the wild and his curiosity gives him a good adventure. Be careful! He tends to be grumpy and quite strong for such a little creature..
Hedgehogs may not be the most common pet but they are not rare either! We at Hedgehog Sanctuary will do our best to educate and spread awareness about these cute yet feisty creatures. Wild hedgehogs are as important and amazing as domestic hedgehogs! 🦔🦔🦔
