Hello !

One of my friend, a new hedgie breeder who cannot write in english wants to know something about hibernation...

The risk of a hedgie trying to hibernate starts how many hours (approx.) after a lack of electricity ?

Thanks ! :)

As soon as the temperature drops below 72-73 F (23C) the risk of hibernation starts.

If the outside temp is -20 when the power goes out then the house temperature will drop much faster than if the outside temperature is 65.
