Best Answer

Hedgehogs do what they do all year round .In Africa it doesn't get cold in the winter so it doesn't matter to the heggies. But if you own a hedgehog and live in an area where it is cold and do not have a temperature of at least 65 (Fahrenheit) your hedgehog will go into hibernation and most likely die.
