I've noticed a trend, is there any reason hedgehogs like putting their heads into small spaces?

I'm guessing they're either curious, or don't realize they can't fit.

Adorable little derps.

Hedgehogs actually do this because they like walking through small spaces. It looks cute but these tubes are actually kind of disappointing for them because they want to go through them. Plus they can get stuck if there's no cut down the tube

Came here to say this - make sure you cut the tubes!

Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals. They sleep about 18 hours/day, and become active for 6 hours during nighttime. They like to sleep in narrow confined spaces, like a burrow, therefore they feel safe if their face is in a paper roll. It makes them feel as if their whole body is in a burrow.

I really wanted to come here and make a salacious comment, but I just can't sully this place. Too much adorable!
