Can hedgehogs and chinchillas live together?
Hedgehogs and chinchillas have different care requirements and should not be housed together. Hedgehogs require a warm, dry environment, while chinchillas require a cool, dry environment. Hedgehogs are also nocturnal animals, meaning they are active at night and sleep during the day, while chinchillas are crepuscular animals, meaning they are active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk. Additionally, hedgehogs are omnivorous and may view chinchillas as prey. For all of these reasons, it is best not to house hedgehogs and chinchillas together.
