Disney Dreamlight Valley: Honeyglow Woods Hedgehog Variants Guide
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Honeyglow Woods Expansion adds four distinct Hedgehog variants you can discover, befriend, and recruit as companions. These little critters are generally easy to approach, and they react positively when you bring them what they love or like. If you stick with their feeding routine, you’ll also gain access to special photo poses for Photomode.

How to Feed Hedgehog’s Favorite Food
- Favorite Food to bring: Pufflebud Pods or Golden Honey
Hedgehogs are friendly critters roaming Honeyglow Woods, spread across four sub-biomes. The sub-areas listed are Drowsybloom Acre, Gloommeadow, Braveheart Grove, and Nectar Apiary.
Each Hedgehog variant is tied to a particular sub-biome, and the guide indicates that those location details are summarized in a table below. After you successfully approach one, you can feed it, and feeding their favorite food—Pufflebud Pods or Golden Honey—three times is what unlocks the Hedgehog as a companion.
Hedgehog Feeding Rewards
Every time you feed a Hedgehog either its Favorite or Liked food, it responds with specific loot. The reward changes depending on whether you brought what it loves or simply what it likes.
- When you give Liked Food: Dream Shard, Memory Shard, or 2x Carrot Seeds
- When you give Favorite Food: Dream Shards, Memory Shard, or a Motif Bag
Hedgehog Schedules
Finding the right Hedgehog at the right time matters because each of the four variants keeps a slightly different schedule. The guide frames this as a day-and-time plan for where to look across Honeyglow Woods.
It also notes that the table below lists exactly when you can encounter the Classic, Green, Yellow, and Orange Hedgehogs in Honeyglow Woods. Use the schedule to narrow your search instead of wandering aimlessly through every sub-biome.
