    Hey, sorry i have been posting a lot recently, but I want to make sure all my info is correct before I get the hedgehog. I might be posting a thread for the other things linked in with the housing a hedgehog forum. I have decided on getting an African Pigmy hedgehog(:-D) because I think it...

    Hello, Ever since I have gotten my hedgehog I have used brown carefresh as that is what the breeder who I had got them from suggested. However obviously I have noticed they sell many different colors of carefresh and I was wondering if there was any reason not to use them. I realize that some...

    I currently use fleece in my boys cage but I'm thinking of changing him onto loose bedding and have a naturalistic enclosure. He just loves to dig and fleece doesn't allow him to do this. He also loves making a nest. I put loads of fleece strips and small to med fleece squares around his cage...

    Hello! A few months back I got a male hedgehog (he is about a year and 1/2) and has always used paper bedding (Carefresh).

    Hi everyone, I have been using Kaytee Clean and Cozy bedding (in white) for as long as I have had Ed- so for nearly two years now. It's always worked well and I've never run into any problems. I noticed about 6 months ago when I bought a new package of it, it seems the "formula" has changed...

    Hello!! So, all of the research I've put into before getting our babies (this coming Tuesday!! Woot!), I've come to a halt at bedding! When I went to meet the breeder and the babies, I asked him about bedding. He said they prefer pine shavings and fleece was definitely their least favorite...

    I brought my female hedgehog with me to college, and we're currently sharing a small dorm. She is living in a sterilite storage bin with fleece liners that I'm currently changing out pretty much every morning. I keep the dirty liners in a sealed plastic bag until I'm ready to do laundry, but...

    I realize this might be a bit better suited in the mite section but I have a male hedgehog who is about 9-10 months old. He had very dry skin and was itching. I took him to the vet and had a scraping done so I know he had mites, the vet treated him with revolution every two weeks for three...

    While researching the diamond soft breeding lilysmommy mentioned in another thread I happened upon this bedding. It seems some PetSmarts carry it and I've found it on Amazon. I did search the forums but no hits. Apparently it's better than carefresh, it's reportedly quite soft, and claims to...

    Hey guys, I have had my girl for a month now. Her home consists of two large plastic tubs (52 and 60L) connected with a PVC pipe. One of the tub functions as a 'bedroom' of a sort with many layers of fleece liners, her igloo and snuggle bag. I made it so because she showed a preference to this...

    Hi, I got Gray 6 months ago. Brought him home because his former owner couldn't take care of him any more. He wasn't in a great health condition at the time and had mites, so me and my mum was told by the vet to use peeing pads and change it everyday. We still use peeing pads as his bedding...
