This is honestly the best thing ever! My husband and I bought this for our hedgehog and this cage is huge! We also love that it was so inexpensive compared to other c&c cages!
Omg adorable! I LOVE how she ran around and tried everything out then got excited and moved on to the next thing! Such a sweetheart. My little girl hates being watched so she always waits until I leave the room before she plays with the things in her cage 😂
Super adorable!!! I'll be picking up my first hedgie this Wednesday and I'm super excited! Been researching for a couple of months and was re-visiting some cage set ups and tutorials! This is adorable!! 🥰🥰🐾🦔
This is a great video! for the heating your cage though, I would try to get something for the heat lamps to rest on, like a regular grid piece, so that you aren't just trusting the clamp. There is a high chance of clamp failure and the lamp falling into the cage during the night and your hedgehog getting a burn because they were curious. Also because of the size of your cage I would suggest you invest in a second lamp (and a thermostat if you don't have one currently) to keep the cage evenly heated at the proper temperature.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving us this idea! My cousin and I are bringing our hedgehog next week and we used these storage bins to make this :)
As a note to anyone getting this who is trying to get matching fleeces, this is NOT the same as a standard 2x4 C&C where each grid is 14”x14”, the grids here at 12”x12” so your fleece would be Midwest sized (24”x48”, a true 2x4) and not C&C sized!!!
This was an awesome idea I got the same thing you did because of your suggestion except at the bottom I just turned the pieces upside down so I didn't need twist ties so thank you for the idea
Erin Elizabeth Exotics also can I ask if you can do a video all about hedgehog heating with links so that we can find the right heating equipment more easily. I might be getting one and I’m doing a lot of research but I’m having a lot of trouble with learning about there heating so I would really appreciate it❤️👍
Olivia Scolnick great question! My cats are super docile and dont ever mess with her, the only issue i have is them jumping in and eating the food lol. So at night when i feed her i just shut the door to the room that she is in to keep them out!
I got the same exact cubes and I used zip ties to keep them together and I made a bottom so when i zip tied them together, they held their shape nicely
I love your channel and am getting a hedgehog in march and cant wait! Thank for posting really helpful and amazing content! I hope you grow your channel a lot and get a ton more subscribers because you deserve it! I have one question about when to bathe you hedgehogs. Anyway I hope you have an amazing day!
thank you so much! You answered all of my curiosity. I have been wanting to get this type of diy fences but there are no videos on this type of enclosure, your video explains everything. Also thank you for mentioning about the size of the pvc tube, mine is 2inch and its too small i had no idea what size i should get until u explain, haha
Something that I use for my guinea pigs is under neath the fleece in there cage I put puppy pads to keep the pee from staining/ making a mess on the bottom of the cage.
I’m about to order these tomorrow unless I can convince my mom to finally help me upgrade my hedgehogs current cage. I’ve been waiting months for help (I have no idea how to do it alone) and I told her if we can’t do it tomorrow then I’m gonna buy these
Love the idea. I have guinea pigs. Don't think this would work since I have other pets looking get a cc cage but I'm worried that the lid comes with it wouldn't hold up with my fat cat laying on top of it 😂
Hi Erin, I really like your chanel. I´m going to have my first hedgehog soon and your videos have help me a lot to undestand things. I send you a big hug from Colombia. Hope you´re safe, Bruno Ospina.
Hi Erin. I have gained a little hedgehog in our garden, can I ask can I make it a house in a big plastic box, to hibernate in and can I also feed it in the same place it hibernated? Great video thank you Natalie
Ahh she seems to love it!! Thanks for sharing, I just got a bigger cage for mine and was wondering what I could do to cover it all. And what food do you use?
I was wondering, since the video was made 5 months ago, how is the cage holding up? I want to order them but I’m scared it’ll be falling apart after some time lol. Please give me an update!! :)
Still works great! The only thing I will say is there is a small seam on the edge of one side of each square where the plastic was folded over and glued, and I didn’t notice it before, but I wish I would’ve paid attention and made sure all the seams were facing the outside of the cage because the seam kind of gets gunked up and nasty and hard to clean. (Hopefully that makes sense) One of these days I will rebuild it and flip each square so that the smooth side is facing in, but so far I’ve been too lazy lol.
Hi! Great video I'm planning on getting a hedgehog this week! What type of food do you use or would you suggest? Thank you so much it would really help
You probably already know this but cat food that is high in protein and low in fats is a great option! Treats could be given 1-2 a week and something like mealworms or yogurt drops I’ve found make my hedgehog super happy! I hope you have luck with your little fellow and bonding goes great!
So do you still have this setup 2 years later? Or did it not work out? I just got a hedgehog so I'm trying to figure out which way to go for his setup.
Love this video. Getting a hedgehog in 2 weeks. So excited! Already set up the cage. Used the same set up. Just one question: how often do you clean the litter box(replace pellets)?
Another idea instead of a heat lamp would be to get a human heating pad ( the one with the controls ) and set it to low, I use that as I had several laying around, and it works! just be sure if its inside the cage, to get ones that are water-resistant ( or waterproof ) so you can clean it easy. Question for you, What wheel do you use?
Hi! I got a hedgehog a few months ago and your videos really help! Thank you so much!! I also have a quick question, i know your prob not going to reply but do you know where you got that hedgehog toy? The toy that was a hedgehog? Hope u reply!! :)

I know this is al older video so not sure if I'll get a reply but I dont leave my hedgehog with food. Wouldn't they over eat and get overweight? I just put 2 spoons of food everyday 😯😲 Just asking jejej because I've never done it
Omg thank you for this!!!!!!!! I’ve been looking so long for a non wire cage and this is fantastic. The only question I have is are the sides sturdy enough? I’m scared when I get a hedge (this summer) he will knock it down lol. Maybe I’m paranoid 🤣
Erin Elizabeth Exotics thanks so much! Took me a while to find the description hahaha I’ve never really used TH-cam to comment or anything but your videos have been giving me the confidence I need
Hi, Erin! I am getting a new hedgehog in 3 days and was wondering if you had any tips. I had one a while ago but I know there will still be new things for me to learn. I love your videos by the way and hope you reply. :)
Are they pretty friendly? We want to get one and have a 4 year old (very mature for his age) and 2 year old twins. All boys. I’d always be with them and youngest wouldn’t be able to touch them without my supervision. But my niece said not to get one and that they are mean, bite and hiss etc. so now I’m second guessing??
They aren’t known to be very friendly or social. They will get poked at least a few times while the hedgehog is learning how to be handled (and more than likely after), and they are also nocturnal. I believe their schedule can technically be altered to suit the household, but in general they are asleep (and more grumpy) during the day. Everything I’ve read is not to get a hedgehog and expect it to actually like you, cause it won’t.
Not sure how to find the link, if someone could help me out that would be great! Recently rescued a hedgehog from my buddy out on a ranch and his dogs found it. I’ve owned one before but I don’t trust the wire cages he had gotten hurt from getting stuck and don’t want to make the same mistake!! This looks perfect
This is honestly the best thing ever! My husband and I bought this for our hedgehog and this cage is huge! We also love that it was so inexpensive compared to other c&c cages!

She is soooooo cute 😫😫 I love how she immediately went through the tunnel 😆
I’m getting my hedgehog on Friday, I’m soo excited!!
If I multiplied by three million, I would subscribe every part of myself. You are an angel, thank you!
Erin, where do you recommend getting a hedgehog from?
Why don't you have a thousands of subscribers? You're great.
Kobe Vasquez thank you so much!! I just started my channel like 2 months ago, so im still growing. ❤️
I’m picking up my baby girl tomorrow! Can’t wait! Thanks for your channel!
I used a c&c cage from my past guinea pigs! (It’s been a cleaned out goodly)

You seem like you know what your doing! I'm 9 years old and I'm getting my first hedgehog in april! This was very helpful!
Hiiiii im 10 years old and im getting my hedgehog this month! What is your hedgehog’s name?
As a note to anyone getting this who is trying to get matching fleeces, this is NOT the same as a standard 2x4 C&C where each grid is 14”x14”, the grids here at 12”x12” so your fleece would be Midwest sized (24”x48”, a true 2x4) and not C&C sized!!!
now i need to convince my dad to get one 🥺
I am getting one this week. Please do much research and have a plan.
Same, my mom said yes now I need to ask my stepdad
Good luck @Marifer Dominguez
I might get one next week!
Same-Making a video on it today!
thank you for this video I was preparing for a hedgehog and this video helped me A LOT
fleece isn't absorbant. it just wicks away moisture. you're supposed to have an absorbent layer under it. The goto is Uhaul Furnature Pads.
This was an awesome idea I got the same thing you did because of your suggestion except at the bottom I just turned the pieces upside down so I didn't need twist ties so thank you for the idea
For the quality of videos you make you should have way more subscribers!
I don’t understand why you don’t have millions of subscribers! Your so good!
I love STARBUCKS! Thankyou!!! I just started my channel a few months ago so im still growing😊😊

Hi, I was wondering where do you buy your fleece
Very good video
It is so cute.
CAN U PLS POST MORE ABOUT HEDGEHOGS IM GETTING ONE AND I LOVE UR CHANNEL

walmart is selling their $3 fleece blankets at the moment! i stocked up on a couple for my boy
Hi Erin. I have gained a little hedgehog in our garden, can I ask can I make it a house in a big plastic box, to hibernate in and can I also feed it in the same place it hibernated? Great video thank you Natalie
Is there a way to make a safe lid for this cage?
Where the heck did you find that plastic type cc cage?
Love this video just wanna know what you were feeding her?
Amazing vid 😊
Ahh she seems to love it!! Thanks for sharing, I just got a bigger cage for mine and was wondering what I could do to cover it all. And what food do you use?
I'm looking to get these as well to make a larger cage, thinking perhaps a screen like for window might cover it ok.
Omg i bought the exact same one for my hamsters play pen

This is great. Was it easy to move once assembled? I think I want to do this but I might need to move it from one room to another now and again
So do you still have this setup 2 years later? Or did it not work out? I just got a hedgehog so I'm trying to figure out which way to go for his setup.
Don't your cats climb in your hedgehog cage and bother her? I loved how your hedgehog explored everything in the new cage.

Did you only have to get one pack of these??
A big one!
What are the name of the panels? That will be a total game changer on making mine a bigger cage that fits in a corner spot.
Jennifer Cline Hi! I put a link to the ones i bought in the description, but you can also search c&c shelves or panels and it should pop up!
@@lancerfan35 Ok, I looked but didn't see it. Perhaps not showing on phone.
Jennifer Cline no worries, heres the link! www.amazon.com/TomCare-Storage-Organizer-Organizing-Shelving/dp/B07G46J61M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=IVH0NEHLIBWK&dchild=1&keywords=tomcat%2Bcube%2Bstorage&qid=1588780512&sprefix=tomcat%2Bcu%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-1&th=1
it will keep the snuggle sack open and a little tunnel!
omg i jus watched your "wish i knew about hedgie video" any update to your hedgehog?
I love hedgies but I just started intermediate so I’m too busy to get one =(
Love the vids tho
Keep it up =) 👍
What food do you recommend??
What do you feed your hedgehog and where did you get those bowls from if you don’t mind me asking
Dont you need wooden shaving or some sort of bedding?
If you were to set a hedgehog down would they run or stay in that area like when ur cleaning it out
Hey, thanks for posting this video I’m looking into this kind of cage. Can you easily keep it heated?
Opp lol I finished watching the video LOL thanks!!
Would you reccomend the clear, black, or semi-clear one?
Its really up to you, the one I have is semi-clear
What brand/flavor of cat food do you use?
what size placement blankets or fleece did you use
walmart has the $3 fleece blankets out right now, theyre not huge but they are cheap and effective
Just a question, do we need a heat lamp? cause normally my house is like 27 degrees Celsius, so do I need one?
Is it safe for a ceramic heat emitter?
What is the stuff your using and where did you find it? I think it’s perfect for a cage!
Any tips for trying to convince your parents to get a hedgehog?
How do you wash the fleece? Will the fleece smell after using some time? You usually sweept the poop every day with dust pan?
Hey! What do you use for heating?
Hi please can you send me the link of where you bought from? Cant seem to find it. TIA
What if you have cats like you have?
Hi can you tell me about your cage i love your cage but the carpet/blanket is lovely to but if the hedgehog poop their how are you gonna clean it?
The panel pack that you bought - how many panels did it come with? Did you use all the panels?
Andrew it came with 24 and I used 20
what are the little balls that are in the cardboard box? im looking to add new things to my hedgehog's cage soon!!
pom poms
do hedgehog need lids
I have a question how often do you clean there blankets at the bottom of the cage?
72 degrees to 82 degrees is there heat requirements. If household temperatures are always kept within those ranges then why need a heat source?
What kind of litter do you use?
She said that her hedgehog was digging in the litter pan so I would try a taller cage because they can dig up to 20 Inches.
I know this is al older video so not sure if I'll get a reply but I dont leave my hedgehog with food. Wouldn't they over eat and get overweight? I just put 2 spoons of food everyday 😯😲 Just asking jejej because I've never done it

I have a question...
When it's hot how do you keep a hedgehog cool? (beside plenty of water)
Ps do you have a link to where I can get the plastic??
