Are you thinking of building a home for your pet hedgehog? The first thing you should consider is the size of the case you can give. Remember that hedgehogs need enough space to run around. The minimum required space is 2 x 3 square feet.
Follow these do’s and don'ts when
building the home for your hedgehog:
DO:
●
Use space bars or wires with a small
enclosure so the hedgehog can't come out.
●
Use a large enclosure like fish tanks
or plastic storage bins. Put ventilation holes so the hedgehog can breathe while
inside the enclosure.
●
Use aspen shavings or recycled paper
for bedding.
● Use fleece fabrics as alternative bedding, but cut out the extra ends to avoid accidents.
DON’T
●
Use wire floors
● Use cedar shavings because it contains harmful chemicals that are bad for small mammals.
Once your hedgehog has settled, make an appointment with your animal hospital North Dallas, TX for your pet’s first wellness check.
