So this is for anyone who may want to try out a new toy for there hedgie. Some of you may already know but some hedgehogs LOVE bells. What we do is we tie 1 or two bells to the same string and hang it from the middle of there cage. (we run a long line of string across the whole length of the cage and hang the bell from the middle of it). Some of our hedgehogs LOVE it. Our high snowflake girl, Raine cant get enough of the bell. She will run up, bite it and hop away like a little puppy. Its the cutest thing. I would recommend that everyone try it

that so cute! You should take a video

Yes! Please take a video! I have a bell just laying on the floor and she looks interested when I jingle it, but she never really plays with it on her own except occasionally accidentally bumping into it... haha. =]

I have a bell I found in my house after I read this post and I keep wanting to put it up but I cant find string thin/strong enough to go in the tiny little hole to hang it.

I just want to make a caution post on the types of bells. There are many types of bells out there, and if your hedgie likes to bite/lick the bell, be sure not to use the round bells with the slit. You could end up with cut or stuck tongues. The same idea of why not to use the plastic holey cat balls with bells.

And if you have a metal biter be sure to hang it just out of grasping range, or you might get chipped teeth.

My boy LOVEs metal and bells and he will always chase it around when I drag it on the floor.

Good point with the metal biting. I don't know if Diggory bites all metal or just his nail clippers because he hates them. xD so he will have to be supervised if/when I get the bell in his cage.

I have a 7 week old hedgehog and have had her less than a week. I added a mirror with some bells attached. She loves to play with it and bite it, but ever since I added it, she has started to bite fingers. Is this because of the bells or just curiosity, or just being too excited?
