Setting Up a Bioactive Hedgehog Enclosure!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

I'm upgrading Momo's enclosure and making it bioactive! It's much more natural for hedgehogs than traditional setups and I also gave her much more space!
Here's a link to the blog post I read on bioactive enclosures for hedgehogs: hedgehogsofasgard.com/post/159...

    i love how hedgehogs look like they have short little legs, but then when they want to run that stand up and suddenly ZOOP! long leggys!

    I just found you because I was looking for hedgehog videos....Earlier today my neighbor said he was going to throw his hedgehog outside cause he was tired of taking care of it 😭💔 I told him to please give her to me...and he gave her to me💜 I knew absolutely nothing about them lol!!! Now I’m doing nothing but research to learn about my new family addition. I love your cage idea!!! Right now she is in a big bin with water, food and bedding. I read that they dig in the wild for bugs so I’m going to make her a garden area with new bugs every night. She’s two and has lived in a very tiny cage with no wheel and no insects for her whole life 😭😭😭😭 They didn’t even give her a name, I named her Thumbtack 😆 I have 6 sugar gliders so I’m definitely used to taking care of exotics💜 She has never been handled so I have my work cut out for me. Anyways your video was amazing and you got a new sub!!! Also off topic but you are BEAUTIFUL!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU FRIEND!!! Thank you for loving animals!!!

    Omg..your neighbor is a total JACKASS!! This made me so upset. So, its r months later..how is Thumbtack (cute name lol) doing? Im sure he is doing good, i meant how is his behavior? My hedgie was never handled either, a lady was so ridding of him so I took him and every day i handle him but he is still aggressive. It's frustrating when people dont take care of their animals!

    At first I was a little hesitant on the idea of this setup especially because African Pygmy hedgehogs are more “domesticated” than other hedgehog species. But I have to say it worked out really well! I love how you still included a wheel so he can get his exercise!
