Jade has one too( a sterilyte bin), but i always leave the lid on(modified with a metal screen for ventilation at times she's active. i don't wanna risk anything. I know that what i'm about to say is extremely over-procautionative and has a .0000000001% chance of happening, but i wan't to risk none of these cuz i love her with all my heart. I have heard of a hedgie who did something like this but a bit less complex, and escaped. Plus, Jade does 1 or 2 of the following sometimes, and she's a smart hedgie. She could overtrun her litterbox by pushing her bowls there, making it higher, causing a ramp up the wheel, wedge her hedgie hat under the wheel so it won't turn, put her blanket on the ramps end so the steep part of the wheel has traction, climb up, and jump out of her cage. I've never seen her Jump, but still. There have been a couple modifications scince the pic, but I don't feel like typing much more.
Sterilite Bins?
It's been a while since I've had a hedgie and when I did have her I had a wire cage. I'd like to try something different this time. What are yalls opinions on sterilite bins? Would you drill holes in it and leave the top on or just leave the top off? If you wouldn't use a sterilite bin, what would you use and why?
I've been thinking alot about using liners or shavings, last time I used liners but she'd always crawl under them instead of in her hedgie bag lol. I was thinking about using liners again, but I'd like opinions on shavings or anything else.
I'm now prepared and have a space heater and heating pads. My question with those is, if I do decide to go with the sterilite bins, will it be ok to put the heating pads under them?
If there's anything you'd like to add, feel free to! Also if there are posts on this already, sorry I'm still trying to adjust to the new forum lol.
