i am going to be geting my first hedgehog in july an I am just makeing sure i have the right suppiles for him I am going to have a 32 inch long by 19 inch wide cage. igloo. fleece liners. food an water dish. running wheel. food from the breeder. toys. hedgehog bag/sleep sack.i just have a question on the heating can you teel me if this will be good enough. i will have a 60watt Fluker's Ceramic Heating Emitter.a Fluker's Porcelain Clamp Lamps. and a ZooMed Repti Temp Thermostat well let me no what you all think an let me no if i am missing anything thanks TOM :mrgreen:
Cage is probably okay... if you don't have it yet you could get some of the other supplies first (eg, wheel, igloo, dishes... the stuff that will take up floor space), see how much room they leave for hedgie to run about, then decide on a cage size based on what you're seeing.
As long as you have a wire-top, plastic-bottom cage, the heat emitter/lamp/thermostat set up sounds good. I have a 100 and 115 watt bulb... they work fine, but might be overkill. I also have a 215... that was definitely overkill! I did decide to use two bulbs and two lamps because my hedgie's cage is sort of long and I wanted to make sure the whole thing was warm. Also, I wanted to have one as backup in case the other stopped working (which did happen to me/my hedgie).
