How the changing seasons affect hedgehogs

A description of how hedgehogs live throughout the different seasons. In spring, hedgehogs like to eat snails and slugs, and are able to find food due to their good sense of smell. In the summer, the supply of food is plentiful with plants, fruits and berries all available. In autumn, hedgehogs eat as much as they can to build up body fat for the winter. In winter, hedgehogs fall into a deep sleep called hibernation.
