Welcome to hedgehog central
I love the name briar You should try and handle him for 30 minutes to ana hour everyday, to me 15 minutes doesn't seem like a lot Even if it doesn't smell I would still clean the cage once a week to discourage the grow of bacteria As long as you watch him and the area he's playing in doesn't have anything he could eat he's not supposed to or hurt himself on it's fine Area Good luck with your new little one |

Okay that's a relief I thought he was just bored or not stimulated enough.

Cleaning depends on the neatness of the hedgie. Squiggy is a bit of a neat freak now, and his cage doesn't need more than a good fleece shake off once a week. I toss it in the wash every 2 weeks just for cleanliness. Other hedgies need full cleanings sometimes 2 or 3 times a week. Before I switched Squiggy to his fully set C&C he was a slob and needed his cage cleaned completely twice a week. Scrubbing the wheel every day though is definitely necessary. Its up to you whether or not you think it needs a good cleaning every week.

Can balls have to be completely solid, no openings or holes. For dig boxes, you can use fleece strips. PVC pipes are good and easy to clean, hedgehogs like them. You can also hide insects around the cage at night for the hedgie to search for, which is stimulating. |

Lilyhogs I have some toilet paper tubes in his cage that I put his cat food in to encourage him to explore.
