1. Food: We recommend Original Flavor Iams adult cat food. This should be fed free choice.
2. Exercise: A large plastic wheel, preferably 12″. We recommend Carolina Storm Wheel and the  Silent Spinner .
3. Bedding:  Sofresh pelleted or crumbled paper bedding or any other paper bedding is best. We do not recommend fleece or wood chips of any kind.
4. Water: A water bowl or bottle
5. Shelter: A plastic container (purchased from Walmart for $15), fish tank, or any other small mammal cage. Minimum size 2.5 ft x 1.5 ft.
6. House: Hedgehogs like to burrow and therefore need an igloo or other shelter.
7. Heat: The ambient temperature of your hedgehog’s cage must be kept between 73 and 80 degrees. Reptile heating pads work well when placed underneath the bottom of a plastic cage. There are a variety of heat lamps, some which emit no light, which your local pet store can help you choose.
