Considerations. The most common organisms in the normal bacterial flora that inhabits the large intestine are anaerobes (Bacteroides, gram-positive rods, and gram-positive cocci), gram-negative enteric organisms, and Enterococcus faecalis. Using differential selective media and enrichment cultures, normal flora can be differentiated.
Rabbits by nature are cold weather animals. They can easily tolerate temperatures at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower providing they have shelter from the wind and wet conditions. They have trouble tolerating temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit and must be kept out of direct sun light during the summer months.
Place your hedgehogs new home in a comfortable, warm, well lit area that is free of drafts and direct sunlight. They are most comfortable at temperatures of between 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. (21-27 degrees Celsius) The basic rule of thumb is, if you are comfortable without a sweater, they will do just fine.
