WHY do hedgehogs stomp around at night?
⠀
Hedgehogs are nocturnal predators and sleep most of the day, coming out of hiding only at dusk. In the wild, animals spend their nights searching for food: slugs, snails, worms, bugs, millipedes, and insect larvae.

Even though their owners leave them food, the hedgehogs still try to find their prey in the closet, behind the couch, under the sink, and in other secluded places.

Their long claws result in a stomping sound.
