@@jfloresrodriguez3875 Some stores sell them, but your best bet is a breeder. They are around 150-300 dollars on the hedgehogs alone, but it depends on the state. They're also illegal to own in a few states, so you should check if you can own one in your state.
Wow i just pick them up in the garden for free when they're too underweight to survive winter. Put them back out in the spring. Hedghog hospitals will have free hogs for adoption. Theyre often overloaded from November and injured ones my not be able to go back into the wild.

How long can you leave a hedgehog alone? If you can't leave them alone for a long time I don't know what to do when I go on vacation. If I get a pet sitter, do they have to let the hedgehog out or just bond and feed with the hedgehog?
get a pet sitter that will blond with them. you don't want them to get hard to handle. when it comes to Hegies you need to try every night take them out & play with them. also try leaving your old shirts that smell like you to your hegie as a blanket so they continue to have memmory of your smell. & make sure the pet sitter changes the shirts every night
I'm a year late but eeh I'm so excited for you! and since this was posted so long ago I find it suitable to assume you already have them, so how are they?

You can wash fleece strips in linen bags in the washer with Free & Clear detergent. Vinegar is good for sanitizing and odor control, I add about a cup per load.

@@djmclencio Alrighty... 1. Hedgehogs like sand but they are fine with blankets 2. They don't 'hate' light 3. False, hedgehogs have tons of personality 4. Hedgehogs NEED wheels, they can run at 12 mph 5. You are just accusing her at this point :/
The Silent Spinner has a crack down the center that needs sealed. It is prone to catching fingernails and toes on hedgehogs. There have been quite a few people that have woken up to bloody wheels and hurt hedgehogs. To modify it you simply use hot glue (carefully, so you don't melt the plastic) or nontoxic aquarium sealant and seal the crack in the wheel. :) It is easier and much better for your hedgehog to just get a different wheel, such as a Carolina Storm Wheel (they tend to cost the same) or a Comfort Wheel, but if a Silent Spinner is what you prefer, it does need to be made safe :)
I've gotta say, my son put an old t-shirt of his into our hedgie's cage so he will get more used to his smell, and it's sonics favorite of anything else in his cage.
+Lauren Quinn I have one and ive done that sice ive had him and it is no problem. i just take it off and put a new one on. its way easier and i have never ha a problem with it.
About how much does all of this cost including your hedgehog and can you just like list about the prices of everything so that we know if it's in our price range?
hedgehogs cost about 200 to 300$ so they can be very expensive especially with monthly vet visits or 2 month vet visits, u can buy all this from amazon and for cheap but most r 10-14$ for cheapest and cqges can range from 70 to 100$
My breeder charges $225 per hoglet. The shipping can be between $25-$75, all the supplies are about $175-$250 (approximately). I'd plan for at least $400
All of this includes a bin cage (at least 105 QT), a ceramic heat emitter 100-150 WATT (possibly 2), the thermometer shown here, a wheel 12"+, a dome light fixture, bedding, food, hide, enrichment, etc
+Madison Jones I don't own any pet store cages so I'm not entirely sure what all the cages are off the top of my head. I know the large Living World Deluxe Habitat is a good option, as is the Midwest Guinea Pig Habitat. They're both fairly pricey cages, so you would save a lot of money making a C&C cage or a bin cage, but they are both generally okay for hedgehogs. Anything that is 4sqft would work as well. The only problem with wire cages (with exposed wire, that is) is that if a hedgehog climbs the bars, it can be quite dangerous so there is a possibility that you would have to make the sides higher on the Living World or Midwest cage with cardboard or coroplast.
Very useful video, thank you. I don’t think my hedgie needs any heat lamp. He lives in the caribbean a normal day here can be over 100*F of course inside the house it’s usually in the high 70s. It’ll never drop below 73 in the winter and it’s almost impossible that it will reach 69. He never burries entirely, so I know he’s not feeling cold. Again thanks for your vides I enjoy them very much.
I was with you until you said they can have wood shavings. This is a BIG NO. Almost every single hedgehog videos says you can not use pine, or cedar. they collect a ton of dust which gets into your heggies mouth and can cause respiratory problems. Also, wood shavings are known for carrying and giving motes to hedgehogs.
Well, I can't speak for where all the other hedgehog TH-camrs get their information, but mine comes from MANY reputable breeders and hedgehog resources. I also happen to be part of many of the hedgehog groups, as well as the Hedgehog Welfare Society, that all have the same stance on wood shavings. They aren't preferable, I don't use them myself, but they are a safe bedding when used correctly. Aside from cedar, which you should never use for any pet, as I state in the video :)
+PugPibbleHedgie Sorry, i commented before hearing about the cedar part. Just from the information i gathered i thought I'd let people be aware. But you probably do know more than i do, so i trust your word :)
+daynes13 No need to apologize - there are a lot of conflicting opinions on beddings. I always encourage people to do whatever they personally feel the safest with. :)
When you use the strips of fleece can you pile it up inside an igloo for them to burrow in thile in there or does it have to be in the mesh laundry bag?
Is it ok to leave my hedgehog alone for 4 days. I got her recently. I heard some people say you should leave them alone for a little bit so they can get used to their new home. So I am not sure if I can leave her alone for 4 days.
+Evie Regan No, don’t leave her alone. Start bonding with them the first day they come home. While in some animals leaving them alone can help them get used to their homes and prevent excessive stress, in hedgehogs this only delays their ability to get used to you.
PugPibbleHedgie I am going on a road trip and could bring her with but we are visiting relatives who have 2 dogs and the house is quite noisy. I am not sure how it will affect her. It might stress her out.
You should feed them one tablespoon of food in the morning and then about 1 teaspoon of like bugs or veggies fruits etc. And about again half a tablespoon of food. In the evening

Hi, I’m getting a hedgehog in December (currently on a waitlist for a breeder) and I live right by train tracks, would this be okay for hedgehogs since they have sensitive hearing and are skittish? Would they adapt over time?
Hello Tori, I found some breeders but one of the customers had a hedghog that got diagnosed for cancer at 1 years old :0, does that make the company a bad one? And i heard cancer is common in hedghogs, how do i make sure I get a healthy one? Also do adoption centers have healthier hedghogs or shops? And how do i know what's an adoption center and what's a shop? Ok bye

+AliceChibi Spring loaded water bottles really shouldn't be used for any animal - they can catch their tongues in them. Some hedgehogs have ripped their tongues off using them.
If I have a fan on in my room at night and it gets a bit chilly does a hedgehog still need any heat source even with a lot of bedding and hides? It’s going to be in a 200qt bin cage so the walls will be solid and it will go on a storage rack in my room so there will be a few inches above it until the other bin on the other rack, so there’s enough room for ventilation but I’m not sure if there would really be a draft consisting but I do keep my room pretty cool. I will pile up Kaytee or carefresh on the one side though?
Thank you for all the helpful information. You mentioned you got your hedgehog cave from Etsy. I tried searching the seller that you named, but I couldn't find it. Could you please tell me the Etsy store's name that sells the caves.
I couldn't help but notice that you use pine bedding in your litter tray....I remember reading somewhere that your not soused to use pine or cedar bedding because its not good for the hogs. Is there a difference between litter and bedding?
+daniela jae There is. :) The main difference is the drying process. Kiln dried pine is perfectly safe for hedgehogs and is used very frequently in litter trays to keep odors down. Regular pine and any kind of cedar bedding are not safe.
I’m getting my little baby in July, I bought a two story cage for him the other day but after seeing this I hope he will like it and I will definitely be putting something on the side of the ramp. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should put on the sides?
Hi. Would a setup of a 3.93 foot by 1.64 foot vivarium with perhaps extra vents (the bottom sealed with safe sealant) and a ceramit heat emitter on a pulse thermostat at 23-24oc on the hot side and 21 on the cool measured by digital thermometers be ok? I'm thinking this setup with puppy pads topped with a fleece liner (purpose made with no threads) and 1 litter box with wood pellet litter or aspen in underneath the wheel (a carolina storm wheel) and another litter box in another corner filled with aspen or pellets (boxes low enough to be accessible), with a snuggle sack and covered plastic igloo for sleeping and a small ramekin bowl for food be ok? Possibly a soft fleece tunnel or wooden tunnel as well and lots of safe to use cat balls and toys (not to be catching little hedgie feet). I am thinking a heavy but small ceramic bowl for drinking as i've heard bad things about water bottles.
May I ask you where you bought that wheel? I can't find it anywhere D: also, do you know where I can buy some c and c cages? Than and your videos are awesome! Btw, your hedgie is adorable :D
+EzraLPS Etsy! It's called a Carolina Storm Bucket Wheel :) I bought the supplies and built it myself - I got the grids from Amazon and the coroplast from a local plastics manufacturer. guineapigcagesstore.com sells them premade as well though
Can I use a fourty gallon tank as long as I use fleece and keep the room nice and not humid? That way there won't be moisture in the cage. This isn't my first pet but I want to be sure
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! We're did you get your carry bags? I couldn't quite understand the company name. Are they on Etsy? Or do they have there own websites?
21:19 erm well my hedgehog does not have that cause he doesn't have a cage like yours cause he lives in my room in an open cage so I guess he just lives of off room temp is that okay ?
PugPibbleHedgie where did you buy the “cave” from on Etsy? I️ wanna get one for my boy :) I️ am having trouble hearing where you said you got it from though!!!
PugPibbleHedgie thank you!!! By the way, I just discovered your videos and they have been SO helpful! So, thank you very much!!! Draco and Blaze are so adorable! I love it :)
What is that thing called exactly that hangs around your neck and you can put the hedgehog in as you walk around the house? At like 27:15. It looks amazing but i cant find it :(
+Me No Hobo It's called a bonding bag or a carrying bag, depending on the store you get it from. If you search Etsy for them, some should pop up. The specific store I got mine from is closed currently.

How does a silent spinner have to be modified? Thank you
The Silent Spinner has a crack down the center that needs sealed. It is prone to catching fingernails and toes on hedgehogs. There have been quite a few people that have woken up to bloody wheels and hurt hedgehogs.
To modify it you simply use hot glue (carefully, so you don't melt the plastic) or nontoxic aquarium sealant and seal the crack in the wheel. :)

Dr. Andrew J. Black Rabbits don't use wheels...
Got a big plastic one and my hedgie loves it!!
Sofia05 yes they do
Shils Stark DO YOU KNOW EMILEO MARTINEZ ????????
Getting my hedge today!!!!
you can put sticky cooking wrap on the wheel. the hedgie will poop, you take the wrap off and replace it. no cleaning required.
That actually causes a lot of other unnecessary issues, so I don't bother. Cleaning their wheels is just part of owning a hedgehog :)
+Lauren Quinn I have one and ive done that sice ive had him and it is no problem. i just take it off and put a new one on. its way easier and i have never ha a problem with it.
About how much does all of this cost including your hedgehog and can you just like list about the prices of everything so that we know if it's in our price range?
hedgehogs cost about 200 to 300$ so they can be very expensive especially with monthly vet visits or 2 month vet visits, u can buy all this from amazon and for cheap but most r 10-14$ for cheapest and cqges can range from 70 to 100$
My breeder charges $225 per hoglet. The shipping can be between $25-$75, all the supplies are about $175-$250 (approximately). I'd plan for at least $400
All of this includes a bin cage (at least 105 QT), a ceramic heat emitter 100-150 WATT (possibly 2), the thermometer shown here, a wheel 12"+, a dome light fixture, bedding, food, hide, enrichment, etc
My hedgehog was 400$ lol
How would I know when my hedgehogs skin is dry I’m planning to get one soon :D
Could you show an example of a pet store cage we could use
Thanks Madison
+Madison Jones I don't own any pet store cages so I'm not entirely sure what all the cages are off the top of my head. I know the large Living World Deluxe Habitat is a good option, as is the Midwest Guinea Pig Habitat.
They're both fairly pricey cages, so you would save a lot of money making a C&C cage or a bin cage, but they are both generally okay for hedgehogs.
Anything that is 4sqft would work as well. The only problem with wire cages (with exposed wire, that is) is that if a hedgehog climbs the bars, it can be quite dangerous so there is a possibility that you would have to make the sides higher on the Living World or Midwest cage with cardboard or coroplast.
Thank you For the input
this SO helpfull i love your videos thanks for share it with us
+Elena Aguilar Glad I could help! Thanks for watching! :D
Very useful video, thank you. I don’t think my hedgie needs any heat lamp. He lives in the caribbean a normal day here can be over 100*F of course inside the house it’s usually in the high 70s. It’ll never drop below 73 in the winter and it’s almost impossible that it will reach 69. He never burries entirely, so I know he’s not feeling cold. Again thanks for your vides I enjoy them very much.
I was with you until you said they can have wood shavings. This is a BIG NO. Almost every single hedgehog videos says you can not use pine, or cedar. they collect a ton of dust which gets into your heggies mouth and can cause respiratory problems. Also, wood shavings are known for carrying and giving motes to hedgehogs.
mites*
Well, I can't speak for where all the other hedgehog TH-camrs get their information, but mine comes from MANY reputable breeders and hedgehog resources. I also happen to be part of many of the hedgehog groups, as well as the Hedgehog Welfare Society, that all have the same stance on wood shavings.
They aren't preferable, I don't use them myself, but they are a safe bedding when used correctly. Aside from cedar, which you should never use for any pet, as I state in the video :)
+PugPibbleHedgie Sorry, i commented before hearing about the cedar part. Just from the information i gathered i thought I'd let people be aware. But you probably do know more than i do, so i trust your word :)
+daynes13 No need to apologize - there are a lot of conflicting opinions on beddings.
I always encourage people to do whatever they personally feel the safest with. :)
you just freeze the bedding for 24 hours before ...this kills any mites that may be there..
When you use the strips of fleece can you pile it up inside an igloo for them to burrow in thile in there or does it have to be in the mesh laundry bag?
I took a sweat shirt that didn’t fit anymore and cut off the hood and then sewed one side and it make like a Cave
Hi! This video was super informative! I have a question. Is it okay to use Boxo Comfort Bedding? Thanks.
+Claire Rosa Yes, it is okay :)
Ok thank you!
Is it ok to leave my hedgehog alone for 4 days. I got her recently. I heard some people say you should leave them alone for a little bit so they can get used to their new home. So I am not sure if I can leave her alone for 4 days.
+Evie Regan No, don’t leave her alone. Start bonding with them the first day they come home. While in some animals leaving them alone can help them get used to their homes and prevent excessive stress, in hedgehogs this only delays their ability to get used to you.
PugPibbleHedgie
I am going on a road trip and could bring her with but we are visiting relatives who have 2 dogs and the house is quite noisy. I am not sure how it will affect her. It might stress her out.
+Evie Regan Hedgehogs can’t be left alone for more than a day, so I’d either bring her with you or get a pet sitter.
How do you know when to feed them? Or when they want to eat?
You should feed them one tablespoon of food in the morning and then about 1 teaspoon of like bugs or veggies fruits etc. And about again half a tablespoon of food. In the evening
this lady is crazy !!!
1 Hedgehogs like sand , they love digging and cleaning themselves with a sand bath, I am sure they hate this ridiculous BLANKETS for a human baby 2 Hedgehogs hate light 3 They don't have personality (maybe she could use the word character or behaviour) 4 she must keep the wheel out ( is not a hamster, it is very rare to see a hedgehog running on the wheel ) 5 I am sure that she is not respecting they time table and wake up them always in day time... This LADY !!!SHOULD BE MORE CREATIVE ... AND CREATE A NICE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS POOR LITTLE ANIMAL ... THE HEDGEHOGS POO ON THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HAPPY ...OTHERWISE THEY ARE SUPERCLEAN ANIMALS !!! GODDAM THIS B...
Would puppy pee, pee pads not work?
I think they would work! Never tried it but it might.

Hey, may I ask something? What usually hedge weight around 3months?
Hi, I’m getting a hedgehog in December (currently on a waitlist for a breeder) and I live right by train tracks, would this be okay for hedgehogs since they have sensitive hearing and are skittish? Would they adapt over time?
kimmy they would adapt to it over time :)
No I don’t think they would they don’t see well so hearing is one of there only senses Also it would elongate your bonding process extreme
Is it okay to use a regular light on top of the cage just to provide light not for heat or anything?
Hello Tori, I found some breeders but one of the customers had a hedghog that got diagnosed for cancer at 1 years old :0, does that make the company a bad one? And i heard cancer is common in hedghogs, how do i make sure I get a healthy one? Also do adoption centers have healthier hedghogs or shops? And how do i know what's an adoption center and what's a shop? Ok bye

Here in Holland the minimum for the cage is 120 x 50x 50 cm in Germany even 150 x 50 x 50 cm .
I'm giving my hedgei a bath. Do you know what temp to put into the bathtub 🛀
My heat lamp also produces light should I keep it or no
+Gymnastics girl No, hedgehogs need darkness at night. Try a ceramic heat emitter, they don't produce light.
PugPibbleHedgie ok thanks I love ❤️ your videos
Is VitaGlow good? Its from a exotic pet supply store.
Why can't the water bottle nozzles be spring loaded if you use a water bottle for your hedgie?
+AliceChibi Spring loaded water bottles really shouldn't be used for any animal - they can catch their tongues in them. Some hedgehogs have ripped their tongues off using them.
Are corn cob bedding okay for them? I use is for little box and little box under the wheel?
My hedgehog for some reason he likes sleeping in the sides of his wheel or inside of his wheel?
I gave him a fleece hide
this is verry inportent for me. i am getting a Hedgehog soon.
so thank you verry much!!!!!!
my cage comes with an area underneath the elevation, should i still put a bed in there?
If I have a fan on in my room at night and it gets a bit chilly does a hedgehog still need any heat source even with a lot of bedding and hides? It’s going to be in a 200qt bin cage so the walls will be solid and it will go on a storage rack in my room so there will be a few inches above it until the other bin on the other rack, so there’s enough room for ventilation but I’m not sure if there would really be a draft consisting but I do keep my room pretty cool. I will pile up Kaytee or carefresh on the one side though?
Are you sure you can use pine?? Everyone else here says no, that it is harmful ?? Can you clarify please 🤔
Thank you for all the helpful information. You mentioned you got your hedgehog cave from Etsy. I tried searching the seller that you named, but I couldn't find it. Could you please tell me the Etsy store's name that sells the caves.
The name of the store is WhimSewCool, however she is currently on vacation because she just had a baby. :)
I couldn't help but notice that you use pine bedding in your litter tray....I remember reading somewhere that your not soused to use pine or cedar bedding because its not good for the hogs. Is there a difference between litter and bedding?
+daniela jae There is. :) The main difference is the drying process. Kiln dried pine is perfectly safe for hedgehogs and is used very frequently in litter trays to keep odors down. Regular pine and any kind of cedar bedding are not safe.
I’m getting my little baby in July, I bought a two story cage for him the other day but after seeing this I hope he will like it and I will definitely be putting something on the side of the ramp. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should put on the sides?
Hi. Would a setup of a 3.93 foot by 1.64 foot vivarium with perhaps extra vents (the bottom sealed with safe sealant) and a ceramit heat emitter on a pulse thermostat at 23-24oc on the hot side and 21 on the cool measured by digital thermometers be ok?
I'm thinking this setup with puppy pads topped with a fleece liner (purpose made with no threads) and 1 litter box with wood pellet litter or aspen in underneath the wheel (a carolina storm wheel) and another litter box in another corner filled with aspen or pellets (boxes low enough to be accessible), with a snuggle sack and covered plastic igloo for sleeping and a small ramekin bowl for food be ok? Possibly a soft fleece tunnel or wooden tunnel as well and lots of safe to use cat balls and toys (not to be catching little hedgie feet).
I am thinking a heavy but small ceramic bowl for drinking as i've heard bad things about water bottles.
What happens when the cage get too hot what do u do?
hey would a heated pad work for my new hedgehog?
May I ask you where you bought that wheel? I can't find it anywhere D: also, do you know where I can buy some c and c cages? Than and your videos are awesome! Btw, your hedgie is adorable :D
+EzraLPS Etsy! It's called a Carolina Storm Bucket Wheel :)
I bought the supplies and built it myself - I got the grids from Amazon and the coroplast from a local plastics manufacturer. guineapigcagesstore.com sells them premade as well though

PugPibbleHedgie
Tysm!!
Could I have two bin cages and connect them with pvc pipes
Question?
Can hedgehogs use carefresh bedding or toiletpaper bedding like hamsters?
people say carefresh bedding is good. they can use a lot if beddings they just cant have dust and cant be cedar.
16:14 why is a spring bad?
I've never used a bottle, I'm just wondering why it's bad
+Frøst Feather It can trap their tongue.
Oh wow :c
Thanks for letting me know
Frøst Feather their tounges can get stuck
Can I use a fourty gallon tank as long as I use fleece and keep the room nice and not humid? That way there won't be moisture in the cage. This isn't my first pet but I want to be sure
If you get the house for them. Can you cover it with one of your old T-shirts?
Christian LeBron You can cover it with anything really, the hedgehog just likes the darkness on the inside.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! We're did you get your carry bags? I couldn't quite understand the company name. Are they on Etsy? Or do they have there own websites?
if i get a wheel, do they have to look like that? i was thinking about something more like a hamster wheel for a hedgehog im getting
I have a portable cage it is little.but I only use it for a day or two the longest time I had used it was a week when my parents went outa town
21:19 erm well my hedgehog does not have that cause he doesn't have a cage like yours cause he lives in my room in an open cage so I guess he just lives of off room temp is that okay ?
can I use just normal olive oil that u can cook with(asking because I couldn't find any special oils)
Since whimsewcool is no longer selling stuff, where should I get the snuggle sack with a strap
She is!

Oh ok thank you!
with your carolina storm bucket wheel , how many inches is yours ? :) thank you ‼️
Can you adorn your Hedgehog cage with live plants, also can they be liter trained.
AHHHHH cuteness overdose haha also I love you
@pugpibblehedgie Can u use a low container with a paper towel infront of the wheel?
PugPibbleHedgie where did you buy the “cave” from on Etsy? I️ wanna get one for my boy :) I️ am having trouble hearing where you said you got it from though!!!
facebook.com/whimsewcool :)
PugPibbleHedgie thank you!!! By the way, I just discovered your videos and they have been SO helpful! So, thank you very much!!! Draco and Blaze are so adorable! I love it :)

What is that thing called exactly that hangs around your neck and you can put the hedgehog in as you walk around the house? At like 27:15. It looks amazing but i cant find it :(
it's a bonding bag
Adriada Versaile Where did you get your specific one, i cant find it
+Me No Hobo It's called a bonding bag or a carrying bag, depending on the store you get it from. If you search Etsy for them, some should pop up. The specific store I got mine from is closed currently.
