Pet hedgehogs need daylight during the day to keep their sleeping patterns regulated. But they also need the option to have a place to get away from the light during the day.
This can be as simple as a piece of 6 inch PVC pipe, a plastic small pet house, or a fleece blanket/snuggle sack, all of which should be changed/washed every couple of days. Many hedgehogs prefer to have options to choose from, so placing a snuggle sack, plastic house and another hide in different places within the cage is a good idea.
At Southeastern Connecticut Hedgehogs we sell hedgehog supplies that you can pickup with your hedgehog, or you can purchase some of these items from our shopping website (www.TheHedgehogStore.com) if you want to have them shipped.
Some of the items include snuggle sacks and soft sided hedgehog houses, and our hedgehog habitat kits come with a plastic hides.
