How to make your own hedgehog cage.

Build a hedgehog cage using a 105 qt Sterilite bin (32.13″ L x 19.13″ W x 13.75″ H). It is a fairly simple and fun project. I keep the lid off most of the time to provide more ventilation. If you want to keep the lid off, you must be sure to use low lying hideouts. I use the Lixit Igloos for that reason.

@teamedwrd13 I buy them at Walmart for around $13.

@thegeckoman98 Sorry for the delay replying. I think snake bedding is too fine for the hedgehogs (if I'm thinking of the right stuff). I have geckos, too. :)

@inocabasan Thanks for the request. :) I updated with a video a few months back. The only change is that most of my hedgehogs are using the Flying Saucer Wheels now. Some still use the Cake Walk type wheels that I make, though.

@sjvmustang Remember to check the temperature where you plan to keep the hedgehog. Houses usually have a much cooler temperature on the floor. As long as the floor temperature stays in the 70s the hedgehog should be safe, but in the wild it is usually warmer for sleeping. Hedgehogs sleep during the hot part of the day and come out at night. I've found that hedgehogs with warmer sleeping temperatures are more friendly and ball up less. I think they just seem more comfortable.
