Hedgehogs are shy nocturnal creatures that bond to sound. It is best to first consider where you will keep your new hedgie.

Requirements:

  • Warm, dry
  • Little extra noise (keep it quiet)
  • No bright lights (bright lights "dazzle" rodents)

Next, the housing. Like most small rodents, Hedgehogs will need a cage. The best ones for a single hedgie are rabbit cages. However! Do not get fancy with two levels and platforms. Hedgehogs have short limbs and poor eye sight.

You will want to ask your breeder or rescuer what bedding the hedgie has become accustomed to living with him or her. A good rule of thumb, no matter what, is not to buy pine shavings. The dust particles could cause respiratory problems and the material is not absorbent, which means your hog could be walking around in urine. That leads to foot fungus and infection. The bedding should be changed every week, and the entire cage should be cleaned at least once a month with warm soapy water.

Once you have procured a cage and bedding, you will need toys and a small hideout. Because hedgehogs are nocturnal, you will need a substantial structure that hedgie can sleep in. It needs to be big enough to comfortably house your hedgehog, and for warmth you ay want to add a towel or blanket. Be prepared to replace it every two weeks or so because your pet will love the dickens out of it.

Toys that are acceptable are larger, so your hog can root around them. Often it is fun to buy edible treats so he can have a reward for his efforts.

Toys that make noise are not recommended because of the shy nature of the hedgehog. Remember: he bonds to sound, and you want him to bond with you not a jingle bell.

Finally, you need a food dish and hanging water bottle. You will need to consult your exotics vet about your particular hedgehog diet. There are some ok foods designed for hedgehogs at brand name stores, but some hedgies do better on diets of cat food than "hedgehog food." You should clean these every two weeks or so.

Some final reminders: keep him in a relatively quiet part of the house with little bright light. He will bond with sound, so talk to him often. Keep his cage clean and change his bedding often. If he has a blanket, replace it every couple weeks or so.

Good luck on your endeavors!
