I own 3 ferrets. I've come to realize that i can't take enough care of them. I can't give them the 6 hours of handling that they need. I can only let them out of their cage and destroy my room. I hear that hedgehogs only need an hour/aren't as energetic, so, maybe they won't destroy my room.
I like animals that are small and don't have teeth like hamsters or gerbils. (The reason i got ferrets)
I hear that hedgehogs on the other hand have far worse smelling "waste" and i don't know if they can be litter box trained. I also heard that they poo while they walk, so that made me think that hey can't be litter trained.
I know they have a varied diet of fruit, bugs, dry cat food? or ferret food, but idk what to get for like a day to day use.
I want to know all this, and can anyone tell me if a hedgehog is more for me?
