Because your post was in natural history not care, I figured you were talking theoretically about temperature. However, I was also concerned that someone new to hedgehogs or new to the forum would read it and take it the wrong way. Hibernation attempts can be scary and I would not want somebody to have to go through that unnecessarily.
Agreed; I started the thread in natural history for that reason; I was wondering about how they could survive in the wild, while knowing full well that we have to keep our little ones nice and warm (but not too warm).
I wonder if hibernation attempts that might occur in the wild are one of the reasons that captive hedgies are reported to have longer lifespans than their wild counterparts.
