Hi, my hedgehog hachi has been sleeping in his litter box...i want him to stop becasue hes getting all dirty and poopy. if you could help plz?
Ok i have a wheel, litter pan, igloo, sleeping bag in igloo, 2 bowls, a toilet paper roll, and some toysCoxMD said:Make sure he has a shelter to sleep in other than the litter pan in his cage. Could you please list what your hedgie's cage contains?
That is a great ideaImmortalia said:One thing you could try, is putting fleece strips into your hedgie's igloo. As they do like to dig and burrow, this might entice them to sleep in their igloo instead of the litter box.
It may be that he wants a cooler place to sleep is all. If you're also using a sleeping bag or something heavier in his igloo, you could try replacing it with fleece strips, or a lighter fabric that won't shred and see if he'll return to his normal sleeping spot. Also, I just have to say, I LOVE your hedgehog's name.TheHedgehogGob said:My hedgehog, Rorschach is doing exactly this! I don't know if I should be worried, because he didn't used to sleep in the care-fresh part of his cage, but now he sometimes go there to sleep, specially after bounding time
It's been a little more warm here, and it's the first spring-summer I had him (he's going to be a year old in a few months) should I be worried about him? Or this is just a new hedgehog traith?...
