The breeder I got my hedgehog from told me that I don't need a big cage for him as they don't need much space... well, I've had him in a petstore cage ever since I got him but I don't think he's happy at all. I feel really bad as he has been living in that ever since I got him. All you can fit in there is a food & water bowl and a hidey. I let him out for floortime and let him in the run and he seems really happy then, to be out of his cage... but with the amount of guinea pigs I have it's hard to have him out all the time so I want to make him a big cage.
I'm going to make it using coroplast and spare grids/wire mesh. Any ideas what I can put in there? I want to make in two-levels because I don't have much space for it to be a long cage, so we will have to go higher instead of longer. The only toys he's ever been used to is a hamster ball - but I didn't think that was very fair on him to run around in as you can't tell when they want out. So really he isn't used to any toys:sad: I am thinking of getting him a wheel to put in his cage but will he use it? He's never had one before... he's two years old roughly. What other toys should I try? Will he use a ramp?
