My male hedgehog (Wilbur) is about 2 years old and recently we were able to go to the vet for the first time! (I know I know, it was way too late to be a first time but we just moved and our last area didn't have exotic vets) He's perfectly healthy and happy (but obese and had sadly lost quite...

Hey guys! I’m back with another question. I’ve been half setting up my cage (still have to add the liners + bedding and litter pan) but I’ve been testing out my heating set up for today and had a few questions. My CHE is connected to a thermostat that I have set at about 76.5 degrees. I have 2...

Just a few minutes ago, I heard a pretty distinct 'pop!' noise from my hedgehog's cage. I'm not sure how else to describe it other than I've heard similar sounds from normal light bulbs, but the one I just heard was louder and more metallic. I use two heat lamps for her, one with a 60-watt...

Update: After doing some digging on various threads here, I've settled on a Fluker's Repta-Clamp lamp. To anyone else looking for a heat lamp, this is their shop on Amazon (though in .ca, not .com) The heat lamp I have can't keep up with how cold the nights here get and has been slowly burning...

I just recently rescued my hedgie Misaki from a neglectful household and she has been warming up to me just fine, however the previous owner used only a heat lamp in a wire cage. I have now purchased a heat pad but it doesn't seem to be enough heat for her. I can use a space heater all day in...

I live in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.. Summers get pretty hot (AC running most days) and winters get pretty cold. First-time hedgehog owner, here. I have had my new hedge for the past few days. I'm so anxious, I constantly feel sick and can't sleep because of the heating situation. Right...

Hi all, this may sound like a silly question but I am wondering about the air vent in the room I keep Arowen in. A little explanation first: I live up north in the midwest and we are entering winter, so the temps are going to drop. Right now the outside temps are anywhere from 20 to 40 degrees...

i’m new to this website so i honestly don’t know if i’m putting this in the right spot but i plan on getting a hedgehog soon but i just wanted to check to see if a critter nation is a good choice for me. I was planning on getting a double CN and putting the hedgehog on the top with the ceramic...

My CHE has broken - a problem with fuse maybe, and even when changing fuse in plug and bulb it wont work. New bulb tried and it just fizzled. I'm not very DIY savvy, and more concerned with getting up again fast than trying to fix - UK people - can you recommend a brand of CHE bulb/holder...

So I'm about to get a hedgehog and I've been reading reviews about ceramic heat lamps and heat lamps and I have no idea what to buy. The ceramic heat lamp I bought ( BYB - 150W 110V Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter Brooder Coop Pet Infrared Lamp Bulb, Black ) needs a lamp that can hold 150W or...

I am getting everything ready for my hedgehog but I am very concerned about the heating. Ceramic Heat Emitters seem fine, and I was going to go with that...please help or comment! Pros and Cons?

Hello, I'm a new member. My family is going to be getting a hedgehog in the near future( from a breeder). I've been reading a lot about caging and still not to sure what to do. We do not have the hedgehog yet, but we have started getting supplies for it. We had a 75 gallon aquarium laying...

Hi, I am 28 days from getting my hedgehog, and i just set up its home. I want to make sure everything is right, and I may be having an issue with the CHE. How long does usually take to heat a standard 40x24 wire side cage? I have had it plugged in for over and hour with little noticeable...

As I am setting up the cage for my hedgehog I am also testing the heating system. My current CHE setup is a 10" dome and a 100 watt bulb, along with a thermostat and thermometer. It seems as if the bulb cannot keep up and is not heating the cage properly, directly under the heat lamp only...
