Prior to bringing home your new Algerian hedgehog, make sure you talk to your vet and pet store associate to find out what type of habitat to build for your little exotic pet. If you’re purchasing from a pet store, you will most likely be able to find a cage there suitable for your new hedgehog. A typical guinea pig cage or rabbit cage will do just be sure it’s big enough for your little guy to craw around and burrow under his bedding. The cage needs to have a flat bottom and the wire part of the cage needs to be coated in case he bites on it. Proper ventilation is also a key factor and make sure the walls are high enough so he doesn’t climb out. After the cage, provide bedding, food bowl, water bowl or side water bottle, hiding places, liter box and toys. Call your pet clinic Wichita, KS for more suggestions. Or pay a visit at this website.
