The smaller species of hedgehog usually live for 2 to 4 years, and the larger species can live for up to 7 years in the wild. In captivity, hedgehogs tend to live for longer. This is due to the fact that they donât have any predators and always have access to food. Some captive hedgehogs have reached the age of ten.
