Hedgehogs Exploring Harvested Orchards
A small hedgehog walks past a wooden crate filled with harvested apples in an orchard setting. A low stone wall extends across the background of the garden grounds.
Protective Spines and Diet of Garden Hedgehogs
Hedgehogs are small insectivores covered in thousands of keratin spines that provide protection against predators. When threatened, strong muscles along their backs allow them to roll into a tight ball, presenting an impenetrable sphere of prickles. Despite widespread myths showing hedgehogs eating apples, their natural diet primarily consists of beetles, caterpillars, earthworms, and slugs.
