Here's how it works:
* Lactation: Just like other mammals, female hedgehogs produce milk in their mammary glands to nourish their young.
* Nesting: Hedgehogs build nests, often in burrows or under piles of leaves, to keep their babies safe and warm.
* Nursing: The mother hedgehog will nurse her babies, allowing them to suckle her milk. She'll typically nurse them for around 4-6 weeks.
* Weaning: Once the babies are about 6 weeks old, they start to wean off their mother's milk and gradually learn to find their own food, mostly insects.
It's important to note that hedgehogs are solitary animals, and the mother only cares for her own offspring.
