Hedgehogs can be seen in deserts and forests, but in real cities, hedgehogs are really rare, because there are artificially raised hedgehogs, but they also lose their original wildness. Hedgehogs vary in size and are covered with thorns. When they are in danger, they will shrink themselves into a ball, so that they can resist attacks and defend themselves at the same time. There is a hedgehog with the smallest size in the world, which is only 25cm long, which is much different from the normal hedgehog size, so it is called mini hedgehog.

First, the mini hedgehog

The longest body length of the mini hedgehog can reach 25cm, and the overall weight can reach 43 grams. Miniature hedgehogs are mostly distributed in the northernmost part of Africa, mainly living in deserts and very arid grasslands. Because hedgehogs are solitary creatures, they often see a hedgehog acting alone.

If the temperature is low, the hedgehog will go into hibernation, which usually lasts for one month. This mini-hedgehog is very small, its coat color is pure white from the face to the belly, and there will be some brown on the back, so it is very different from some hedgehogs in Europe. Hedgehogs have dark colors on their feet, short ears, and many hair-covered ears on their heads.

Second, the diet of the mini hedgehog

Most mini hedgehogs come out in the dark and rest during the day. Hedgehogs often eat small insects and invertebrates. Sometimes animals will eat some chicks, especially when they are very hungry, so many small creatures can become the food of hedgehogs.

Miniature hedgehogs also belong to mammals, and most of them are omnivorous and artificially raised. Generally, they can eat the feed of cats or dogs, but if they are wild hedgehogs, they have to find their own food, usually meat food. Although the miniature hedgehog is very small, it never gives up the delicacy of meat.

If you want to raise mini hedgehogs artificially, you can choose to buy hedgehog food. It is sold in some markets, but the taste of these hedgehog foods will be very weak, and hedgehogs may not like it very much, so you can choose to feed some bugs to hedgehogs, or fruits and vegetables are very good.
