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...

Lol, so true
I had to do a double take when I saw the notification bc I've never heard of bioactive for hedgies- this was definitely interesting and new
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!

I love this!! Can you please do an update video in a few months explaining how well its working? I would love to start a bioactive enclosure for my hedgehog, but I do not want to spend all that money and still have to clean it out :/

Jenna bioactive cages will always still need cleaning to keep it looking nice but it lessons the load! Esp with hedgehogs since they stink up fleece liners really fast

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!
I just got a kitten yesterday! Her name is Oreo and she 8 weeks old! Today would have been her first week at the shelter! Today we lost her and my dad found her ins bookshelf. Right now she is sitting on my chest!

Great video! I love to see someone who cares about animals as much as you do. ❤️ Your hedgehog is soooo cute!
This made me so happy! Thanks for shining a light on the natural behaviors and environments! ❤️
I love the idea of a bio active set up for hedgehogs!! It turned out beautiful and Momo looks so happy 😍
I never would've even thought of this as an option for hedgehogs this is so cool! I hope it catches on for other people too!
A friend of mine just bought a hedgehog and I asked her if she ever heard of a bioactive set up for them. She said yah and that she really wanted to set one up for her hedgehog baby, so I sent her both of your bioactive set up videos so she was provided with all the isopod, plant, substrate layer, etc info in greater detail than was I was able to provide! Thanks Tyler!!!!
Can we get an update on this later on? How is the smell, do the bugs ever escape etc? Thanks because I just rescued a hedgehog and I have the jumbo enclosure as well. I really like this idea and your setup was beautiful
I have never seen a bioactive aquarium for something other than a reptile or amphibian lol😂 GREAT VIDEO!😄

I've been waiting for this for so long! Im glad I found it. I've been wanting to do this for my hedgehog for a while just never new what exactly would go into a bio cage. Thank you so much!
Love the way you setup the enclosures.
This video really calmed me down, momo exploring is the content I didn’t know I needed
I had a crappy day and this video made me extremely happy 😭😍 great job on the cage, all your animals are lucky to have you
We needed more Momo content. Thank u for blessing us with Momo.
The only bioactive enclosure is my bed. 😂😂

Kudos to you, friend. It's obvious that you care deeply for your animals. I sincerely hope that, with spot cleaning, this will be sustainable for a long time. I applaud you.
I love how it turned out! Also, tell momo she’s a very good girl ❤️
That’s so cool I had no idea you could do bioactive enclosures for any small mammals! Love it!!
such a cool setup! good job
Such a pretty enclosure
Tyler, I love what you did here
Looks amazing! Great idea. Your hedgehog will love it.
I love this. I love to do naturalistic enclosures when I can. Super cool idea.
Thank you for everything Tyler ❤️
GREAT Information! You're the first person I've seen to give their hedgehog a Bioactive environment. AWESOME. Great Job!
I love how much you love your animals
The information is important, but in case you already know it, here is when he starts setting it up: 4:23
Your setup looks amazing! Love it 💖 Momo seemed happy as well :)
Great job on the new enclosure. Loved the natural setting. (Background music was soooo cute)
I love this video. Just got my 11 week old hedgehog and I want him to have a normal life as though he were in his natural habitat. ❤
I loved this! Such a good idea. It looked like she loved it!! Thank you for doing something so unique ✨
Was thinking about getting a hedgehog again and after watching this I can’t imagine doing it any other way. It would make a hedgies life so much more enriched and it minimizes the cleaning too. Thanks for sharing this
This was SOOOO cool! Happy hedgehog.
That’s sooo awesome!! Keep us updated on how Momo likes the enclosure!! :)
Nice job, that looks so cool.
Hi Tyler I love this idea I would’ve never thought of this
Yaaass been looking into making my hedgey a new more natural enclosure now I’ve upgraded his viv , this has helped loads there is so little info out there!!
If i ever find my self in the position to be able to give one of these little cuties a home, this is the set up i will want to do! This makes so much since and much more natural. Love it!
That looks awesome! I’m sure your 🦔 loves his new home!
I love this I’ve never thought about it
This is my favorite KZread channel
I wanted to do this for my mice when I got them a few months ago. But I couldn't find any good resources to give me ideas. This has rekindled my inspiration!
Omg Momo running on his wheel was amazing!!! Lol I’ve never seen a hedgehog on a wheel before! So cute!!!😆♥️
Such a great idea!
Great video tyler
Very unique I love this video alot! Cant wait to see what else gets upgraded in the coming weeks from the new house! :)
I have only ever seen the "generic" hedgehog setup but this was awesome to see!! I've only seen people mimic reptiles natural setups and it really put it into perspective that it's not always just reptile owners who can do it as well, lovely video Tyler :)
This is so cool!
It looks awesome I love it
Your awesome Tyler! And Momo's soooo cute. She deserves this.
She is so cute !! 😍
This is such a good idea!! Pls make an update video on how's its working out so far!
Real Friends? Great band! Awesome video too, I haven't seen many bioactive enclosures for hedgehogs so it's nice to be able to see one in an informative video!
Absolutely love this.
I follow the same blog 😻 it’s really great!
Your the best and the coolest KZreadr because your nice to your pets
Awwwe, what a happy hedgehog 🦔
My rats huge cage is bio. And I haven't haven't had to clean a thing in almost a year the moisture in tbe substrate keeps they're respiratory tract good, it's the best thing I ever did. I have 2 hedgies in getting from a breeder they were just born a week ago and I'm making they're bio cage now. Awesome
I have my hedgehog in a large plastic tub. There's a snake heating pad under it. I use clay buster in my tub for the main substrate. I have a corner ceramic water dish. I also have a bowl with dry catfood. There's an igloo in there with a few toys. I never thought about putting plants in there. That looks so cool. I also feed him giant mealworms. 🦔🐾
me: so.. you like it? my hedgehog: wow! me: so you like it. my hedgehog: wow.
Love the cage
I loved this! Your hedgehog is sooo cute !
I only thought about bioactive enclosures for reptiles and amphibians , I never would have thought about bioactive enclosure for hedgehogs! I love it 💕😭

literally I am obsessed with him oh my Tyler made me not hate snakes anymore. Now I’m getting one once I move out because my dad absolutely hates and is scared of snakes
Great video! So interesting.
Momo's a cutie. My hedgie would do the same thing in a habitat like that: run around and anoint to everything.
WAS WAITING FOR someone to do this, you are awesome. Thank you for being awesome.
Happy hedgehog!
I looked up bioactive hedgehog cage almost cried I was so happy that finally there was another animal with a bioactive setup
I really hope you make update videos on this, because I’m VERY interested in this. I’ve been doing research and talking with my vet, but there’s not much out there on it. So I’m really interested to see how this works out for you and momo
O my goodness 💞 This is awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙌
Just curious...the clean up crew is going to stay in the enclosure even though it is a wire cage?

They can't climb up the plastic sides of the cage! Also if somehow springtails or Isopods got out, they wouldn't survive outside of the enclosure! (:

love this video! subscribed!
Tyler! This is so freaking amazing, and I’m really curious as to how it’s working! Please make an updated video?! Love you tons! Thanks (:
Looks great! I recently followed the blog for a bioactive enclosure for my lesser tenrec. I would recommend super worms for the clean up crew too as the beetles they turn into eat a lot :)
HOW DONT YOU HAVE A MILLION SUBS ALREADY?!!! THIS CHANNEL IS THE BEST EVER ! 😭😭😭💗💗💗
I love your videos cause you have such a beautiful love for your animals. And I just like your personality so I enjoy watching you even tho I really don’t know what you’re talking about most of the time 😂😂😂

Wow so cool
Awesome!!!!!!! Cutest hedgehog ever!
Absolutely love you and your animals ❤️
I’m definitely going to do this in hopefully a few months!! (when I can move into my own place)
