So I have been looking into hedgehogs for about a month now. I have a few questions, more so just want to run by what I'm planning on doing with the experts.
I have a 95qt plastic storage container. I will be cutting out the middle of the top and replacing it with screen. Also I will be either drilling holes along the bottom.. or I've been considering cutting a good size section out of the front and replace with like a wire window.
I know right now it's not that big, I do plan on adding another area which would be connected with the PVC pipping.
For the bedding I was going to use carefresh and have an igloo for her hide with a fleece bed. I see a lot of people of fleece line the hole cage, what are the pros of that? There will also be wheel and a litter pan.
For the litter pan what is recommended? The ones used for ferrets with the high corner backing, or a flat one (I've seen people using small cooking pans).
Next question.. water bowl or water bottle?
Also now for the food. It seems everyone here feeds at certain times rather then just keeping a bowl filled at all times, I take it this is the best way to go? I haven't completely decided which food to go with, most likely I will use Blue. I will also give her insects, fresh fruits and veggies, and cooked chicken breasts.
Please give your feed back and suggestions.
