Cleaning the Hedgehog's C&C Cage

Рет қаралды 83,757

Күн бұрын

In this video I show you how I clean my hedgehog's C&C cage. During the weekdays I spot clean the cage daily and on weekends I do the cage cleaning that I show you in the video. In this video I also show you how I clean her wheel.
This video is long overdue and was requested by the following people:

In case people didn't know, the African pygmy hedgehog is a domesticated species of hedgehog. It is not like the wild hedgehogs that roam around in the UK and other regions of the world. You can go to HedgehogCentral.com to find out more about their care and living requirements: www.hedgehogcentral.com/.
Hope you enjoy!

She has the cutest face! Is her cage lined with linoleum, like for bathroom floors? That is a creative idea, plus just as easy to clean as coroplast I would think. Her mountain of bedding for her sleeping area looks so comfy too.

@savetheexplosion 11 жыл бұрын

fleece bedding is the best to use, and its cheaper. You can buy a huge amount on sale at the fabric store and cut it to fit in the bottom of your cage. Wood shavings aren't good for their respiratory systems, and it can get stuck in their private parts.

Can you use fleece instead of bedding or do they prefer bedding to dig in?

@randistrit1240 8 жыл бұрын

It's a matter of preference I believe. Fleece is more cost effective in the sense that you can buy a few pieces and be good, but bedding seems to be easier to spot clean and give a hedgehog a simple hiding place. Whatever is convenient for you, really, I'd assume.

oruguita851 The best option is to use the potty trays under the wheel. We personally have a small cake pan (disposable aluminum one for cookies) and have paper towels underneath and change it everyday. Some people use the puppy pads, and different types of "litter". As far as cage poops and pees, all of ours are centered into the potty tray :)

@larafairbrother8726 8 жыл бұрын

+Jimmy Nioutron Well I personally think it depends which you prefer. Everything has its pros and cons, fleece has to be changed daily but you can buy a couple of them and just reuse them. Bedding allows your hedgehog to burrow giving it a more natural environment, but you can't reuse bedding meaning that you have to buy more.

@kittyplaysminecraft6484 7 жыл бұрын

no its not. May be easier to clean for those lazy people out there, but hedgehogs are so much happier in bedding. They can burrow, carry the pieces around, and it smells less. Plus its just more natural for your hedgie
