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,

Wheels

Wheel (RM80.00-RM120.00) is an option to be included in the cage settings. While not necessary, most owners and breeders will agree that by providing a wheel for your hedgehog it will keep your hedgehog healthy and prevent obesity.

12 inch wheels are commonly available in stores, but there are also breeders and owners creative enough to invent home-made wheels. Smaller wheels will only be suitable for young hoglets, adult hedgehogs may find it hard to run in.

Whatever the type of wheel provided, it must be ensured that the wheel has solid running platform, and no wires. As mentioned before, hedgehogs are pretty clumsy, and not as agile as hamsters or mice, and can easily get its legs stuck.
