Hedgehog Fun Facts✨️🦔
Built-in Armor – Hedgehogs have about 5,000–7,000 spines (not quills like a porcupine!) that help protect them from predators. Curl Power – When threatened, they roll into a tight ball, turning into a little spiky fortress! Solo Adventurers – Hedgehogs are loners by nature and prefer to explore on their own—especially at night! Nocturnal Nibblers – They're nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and party (okay, forage) at night. Super Sniffers – Their sense of smell is incredibly strong, even better than their eyesight. Hedgehogs Hiss & Snort – Yep, they make funny sounds like little piggies when excited, annoyed, or curious! Teeny Tongues & Tiny Teeth – They love insects, fruits, and veggies, using their little teeth to crunch it all down. The "Anointing" Mystery – When they smell something new, they lick it, foam at the mouth, and spread it on their spines. Scientists aren’t 100% sure why—but it’s a hedgehog thing. 😄 Great Garden Buddies – In the wild, hedgehogs help control pests like slugs and snails, making them a gardener’s friend! Not All Can Curl – If a hedgehog is sick, injured, or too cold, it may not be able to curl up properly—always a sign they need care.
