Welcome to I Love Hedgehogs!

Dear readers,

Welcome to my hedgehog blog. I've always thought of starting a blog dedicated to my hedgehogs, Cactus and Quills, and perhaps spreading the love to other people.

Hopefully this blog will go on for years to come, and have everything needed for someone who wish to own a hedgehog.


Regards,

Beddings

There are generally three types of beddings:-

  • Wood shavings – The softest shavings available is mostly recommended. Needs to be changed once every week or fortnightly, as shavings tend to harvest mites.
  • Newspaper – A more economical option but will not help in reducing odor. Newspapers are also dirtier (ink stains) when wet compared to other options, and thus will need regular changing.
  • Liner fabric – Considered the cleanest bedding, although if the hedgehog isn’t litter-trained it will mean daily washing.
