Depends on the model. Some only hook into the cold water line, where others can hook into both. A cold jet of water on your butt is a hell of a way to wake up in the morning.
As long as you have a sink with hot water in your bathroom, it’s not hard to attach a splitter to the hot water line under the sink and run a little hose along the baseboards. That’s what I did, anyway
As a bidet owner myself, there are models that have heated water options.
I only have experience with Toto Bidet’s, but all of theirs I’ve tried have multiple heat settings for the water, seat, and dryer.
Not all heated Bidet’s are created equal though. Depending on the model, they have a small reservoir of water they heat up, or use a tankless design. Both have pro’s and con’s.
Tank designs have a small amount of water preheated so it’s ready to go. But it is possible to drain it faster than it replenishes and you’ll eventually get cold water.
Tankless designs don’t run out of hot, but the first half second of the spray always seems to be cold as it’s just past the heating element.

Yeah, I don’t have a hot water line close to the toilet. I need the bidet to heat it.
