The Curl Test
A healthy hedgehog can curl into a tight ball. If they cannot fully curl, they are likely obese.
Fast Growth
Hedgehogs reach adult size by 6 months. Rapid weight gain after that is usually fat, not growth.
Nightly Weigh-ins
Weigh weekly on a kitchen scale. Sudden weight loss may indicate illness.
Exercise Wheel
A 12+ inch wheel is essential. Hedgehogs can run several miles per night.
Domande Frequenti
How big do hedgehogs get?
African pygmy hedgehogs weigh 1-2 lbs and measure 5-8 inches in body length. Males tend to be slightly larger.
How do I know if my hedgehog is overweight?
If they cannot curl into a tight ball, have fat rolls around the armpits, or weigh over 600g, they likely need a diet adjustment.
