I've noticed that my hedgehog is a lot less active during the night if I let him have his cuddle bag in the tank. It's like the cuddle bag is his life. If I take it from him he would just wheel all night and be much more active and eat/drink more. What do you think I should do ? Any thoughts on this ?

He is fairly sociable so I don't see it as a "omg I'm scared I'll just stay here", I think it's just a matter of comfort/safety in his "home". But I wan't him to be active so he doesn't get fat (or sick) like one of the Insta hedgehogs, but on the other hand I don't want to stress him.

The only option is a heat emitter with thermostat if I can find one here as I don't want to raise the living area temperature over 23 degrees (nor comfortable or healthy). I'll look for one. Thank's for the help ! :D

After some research I can get a 100W ceramic heater bulb with the lamp and install my own thermostat (as I can't seem to find any specially made for terrariums that are under 85 euros) for about 60-70 euros total. The problem is I'm not sure this is worth it, as I just want the temperature to raise with 3 degrees Celsius in a 75 liter aquarium (transformed now in a terrarium). Another option is a 10/15W ceramic rock/tree heater with incorporated thermostat for about 15-25 euros which might do the job. Any thoughts on this ?
