Hedgehogs typically live two to three years in the wild. The most common cause of death in the wild is due to predation rather than age. Various resources report a relatively wide range in the maximum life expectancy of hedgehogs kept as pets. Hedgehogs can live up to 10 years in captivity, but those hedgehogs are few and far between.
Speaking of the due date, the gestation period for hedgehogs is approximately 35 days. I have heard of births happening from about 33 days through to about 42, so the 35 is not absolute. Most will be within the 34-37 day range, however.robably most notable is that mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to, and for up to about 10 days after the birth. This can be heartbreaking and very frustrating to would be breeders. By our (human) standards, this sort of thing is unthinkable, and very hard to accept.
