Hedgehog Pet Uk

headgehogs as pets im confused?
i live in the uk we only have hedgehogs in the wild it is usually cold and raininy most of the year and sometimes we have a hot summer hedgehogs hibernate in the winter months i was just wondering because i saw people answering someones question about keeping hedgehogs as pet that you have to keep them at a high temprature so they dont hibernate but surely they need to hibernate its a natural process isnt it?
When we are discussing hedgehogs as pets we are not talking about the big European hedgehog that you are used to seeing in the wild. Rather we are discussing a small African variety (technically a hybrid of the Algerian & White-Bellied species). These hedgehogs do not hibernate like the European species. They do not have the needed body fat, and their bodies do not slow down enough to enter full hibernation.
While I don’t think they are all that common yet, there are African Hedgehog owners in the UK. I see quite a few owners popping up on the hedgehog web forums. In case you are interested, here is a list of breeders in the UK: http://hedgehogcentral.com/breederuk.shtml
