Hedgehogs have become fashionable in recent months and it is possible that many of us have raised bring one of these cute little guys at home.We give some ideas for the interior of our hedgehog, suitable for all tastes and budgets.
As with the hamsters and rodents in general, thesepets have two basic needs that we must attend to when thinking about their environment. On the one hand, it must be large enough so that they can move without problem and even run around a bit if you want. On the other hand, we have to provide them inside a burrow, and we have to think where to place it so that is compatible with the rest of the space. No less important is the issue of temperature: It is recommended that hedgehogs are far from environments with a temperature below 22 degrees. So, as a third building block, we have to think what is the place of our home best suited for them.
Cages with bars and plastic: the classics
The most common picture that comes to mind when thinking of habitat for this kind of pet is barred cage, easy to carry, or which is surrounded by a plastic screen. It is very comfortable living quarters for us and safe for them. The disadvantage may be that not give them the space they would need to feel free, something that can cause a significant degree of stress. If we have no choice but to use this kind of cages, we must remember our hedgehog to get outside at least once a day to stretch the legs. It is also important to ensure that the materials do not contain any element that can poison these petswhen the bite (which they will).
Our own cage: DIY
Do we like DIY? Then we can ask us build the cage that suits you our hedgehog. With two floors, ramps, a small wooden den located where you need it ... There will be nothing more rewarding than seeing our little friend run around the space we have created for him with love. We can draw on a design we have in mind, if we are working in the field, or search for templates and ideas on the Internet, where no doubt find an arsenal dedicated to petsand full of originality.
