This may seem short, but this is quite an impressive span compared to other small pet animals. It also improves the lifespan of wild hedgehogs, which averages around 2 years. Personality African Pygmy hedgehogs are calm creatures who like being handled gently and kept in a quiet, tranquil ...
Once upon a time, the hedgehog was the ubiquitous first point of contact for UK citizens and native wildlife. Presently, the once common sight in parks and gardens is now a rare sight, and there are many who have never seen a hedgehog in their lifetime. These small brown mammals with sp...
This contributes to their unusuallylong lifespanfor such small animals. They can live for up to 50 years in captivity! Get Acquainted with the Hedgehog and Porcupine Hedgehogs and porcupines have a lot more to them than one might think. They’re some of theweirdestand most wonderful creatures...
In the wild, the Brandt’s hedgehog typically lives in arid deserts or mountains. They travel in the nighttime to find natural shelters but can still dig dens when necessary. They must also hibernate during the colder months of the year. Something unique to the Brandt’s hedgehog compared to...

piRNAs are downregulated in the mated germline Several species of small RNAs are expressed primarily in the germline and regulate germline function. For example, microRNAs are critical in lifespan regulation after germline removal27,36. Endogenous siRNAs are required for maintenance of proteostasis and ...
Although their expected lifespan is only 1 to 4 years in the wild, sound nutritional advice and high-quality veterinary care have lengthened the captive lifespan of these animals. Unfortunately, multiple reviews document that the geriatric hedgehog, although only 3 to 5 years old, is predisposed...
Inadequate nutrition can also lead to a weakened immune system and a shorter lifespan. When feeding hedgehogs, it’s important to provide a variety of foods to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients. A balanced meal plan should include a variety of protein sources, high-quality fats,...
