Is hedgehog a hibernating animal?

Hedgehogs hibernate in winter. Hedgehogs have the habit of hibernating. Generally, it hibernates in 10 and ends at the end of March of the following year. Hedgehogs look around before going to bed and eat a lot of food to store a lot of subcutaneous fat, which can reach up to one-fifth of their own weight.

Extended data:

Hedgehogs hibernate for four or five months. After entering hibernation, their body temperature drops and other physiological functions are weakened. Hedgehogs need to keep the temperature when hibernating, because hedgehogs are warm-blooded animals, that is, they can't completely adjust their body temperature to maintain their functions, which is the same as warm-blooded animals. But in order to reduce the consumption at rest, they will keep their body temperature slightly higher than the ambient temperature. Hedgehogs usually hibernate like this in winter, so we should provide them with suitable environment and temperature in winter.

When the hedgehog hibernates in its nest, its body temperature will drop below 9℃, and its breathing frequency is only 1~ 10 times per minute. Although hedgehogs occasionally wake up during hibernation, they will soon fall asleep again. Those who wake up early will starve to death because of lack of food and bad weather.
