The small-toothed forest hedgehog (Mesechinus miodon) is a species of hedgehog in the genus Mesechinus. It is native to China. For a long time it was considered a subspecies of the Daurian hedgehog or the Hugh's hedgehog.[1] The habitat of Mesechinus miodon is dry and desert-like. They feed on various species of beetles and hibernate in late October.[2]
