I am scared to get Aspen because of mites and some carefresh bedding becuse it may have dust.
Aspen for cheap, otherwise care fresh is great for all pets. NO cider bedding, pine is fine
I use homemade fleece liners for my hedgehog. They are cheap and easy to make, last a really long time and you don't have to worry about wood shavings going everywhere! If you cant make them yourself(or get someone to make them for you) you can always order them someplace online. If liners aren't an option then listen to what Tanya S has to say.
Try to find one made 4 hedgehogs or ask someone at a pet store.
it depends. Aspen bedding: It's good, it tends to get messy and it attracts mites and bugs. Carefresh:It gets messy, and there's a chance of your hedgehog eating it and chocking. Corn cob: It's quite good, except that you have to keep it in a dry place and that the cobs could go in the hedgehog's urinal place Fleece: Many people like it, it is not messy, you have to wash it but you do have to litter train your hedgehog. Hope that helps and good luck with your hedgie!
Bedding material should be non-toxic, low-dust, absorbent, several inches deep, and may consist of Aspen Bedding or pine shavings, pelleted newspaper (e.g.; Yesterday's News), or shredded newspaper. If using a rabbit or ferret cage with wire floors, you will want to place old but clean carpet on the wire floors, and then cover that with the bedding material. Make sure to remove any strings on the carpet which could possibly be eaten by the hedgehog or twist around they hedgehog's limb. Do not use cat litter as bedding, since it will stick to the hedgehog's fur. Also make sure the bedding stays dry and that you change it frequently.
