I am getting my first hedgehog on Sunday. He is almost 7 weeks old. I have been doing some looking up online and have noticed that a lot of people use vellux blankets for bedding. I was wondering what you feel is best. Also, I have seen that a lot of people use just clear plastic storage containers as a cage…a cheap alternative….
Opinion?
THANKS!!
I don't like the plastic containers because you don't know the chemicals that go into making them and it may harm your new pet.
I used Carefresh and Aspen Bedding for the little guys. There is also Boxo and Hemp Bedding as well. Just no cedar or pine chips as they can cause respiratory problems in the future.
The vellux blankets are a good idea as well
Good Luck and Congrats on your new pet
