WHAT ARE
FLEECE CAGE LINERS?
Fleece cage liners are custom-made and custom-fit fleece material used to line the bottom of the cage INSTEAD of using and replacing wood chips. The fleece has a sets of U-Haul blankets sewn inside the pieces for superior absorbance. You simply launder the liners once a week on cage day. You only need pone set of liners but may someday want two. It is a much cleaner method of maintaining the cage. Safer for the animal as well. And they come on some adorable fabrics to brighten up the cage. I buy these liners from a girl on Etsy. I have used the same girl for many years. She does high quality work. Ask to see when you visit me!
I HIGHY recommend these liners.
HEDGEHOG CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Hedgehogs are very easy to care for. They like indoor room temperature and are very easy feed because they can just eat dry cat food.
Here are some very basic facts about caring for a Hedgehog.
Hedgehogs grow to about the size of a small rabbit or a large Guinea pig.
Hedgehogs only live 4-5 years. Hedgehogs need no vet shots and seldom need to see a vet.
Hedgehogs can eat dry Purina One cat food. Always leave food out. And bottled drinking water as well.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal and like to party all night and sleep all day.

A NOTE ABOUT HABITATS AND CAGES:
It is very easy to get excited about a new hedgehog, and get in a hurry to get started, but quickly make a mistake when buying your first hedgehog habitat. For starters, hedgehogs do not do well in wire cages. The cage should be a tote type cage. There are many things about the cage that are important for the hedgie safety and well being.
Please allow me to assist your with your first hedgehog cage. The set-up I sell for $125 is very complete and has everything you need including a starter kit and instructions.
I HIGHLY recommend this tried and tested cage and I have seen the cages outlast the animals. If you are going to trust me enough to sell you a Happy Healthy animal, than please trust me enough to provide you with the proper habitat!
My habitats include all of the following:
Large tote and lid
Smaller tote sleeping box.
Heater
Digital Thermostat
Heat bulb
Water bottle and food cup.
Running wheel
Litter pan
Instructions and food.
All included with the cage purchase.
The only additional purchase you may wish to invest in would be a set of fleece cage liners for $60 . More info about that on this website!
