Glad it’s working for you (mostly, anyway!). The photo in this post is when I was using an adult incontinence bed pad. They’re quite similar to puppy pee pads, but I read somewhere back in the day that puppy pee pads may be unsafe as they’re scented with something to make dogs want to pee on the pad, and some hedgehogs will smell that and try to eat the pad which can be harmful. Where the ones marketed for humans to use aren’t scented so hedgehogs aren’t likely to try to eat the pad.

The disposables worked okay but I wound up switching to lining the cage with fabric later. I made my own, but if you search something like “cage liner” on Etsy you’ll find different sellers offer to make custom pads based on the exact measurements of the cage you have for your hedgie. I made a few so that I could swap them out regularly. I knocked any poo off into the trash and then just washed the pad in the washer/dryer. Just another option. 🙂

It’s so neat to discover others who have hedgehogs becuase in person, whenever someone finds out that I have a hedgehog they are baffled and most of them have no idea they can even be pets. I love having mine though. It’s funny how he’s so particular though. It took me four or five water bowl options before I found this one that worked and I think seven or eight different “beds” before I found one that he’ll always use. Most people on hedgehog forums use igloos but mine just refused even though I tried several sizes. So finicky! Lol.
