Doesn't want to use his wheel 1 Month ago  
My hedgehog, Julius, is getting pretty chubbby (he can still roll up so he's not crazy obese yet) but he doesn't seem to have any interest in running on a wheel. Is there anything I can do to promote exercise? What do you do with a hedgie who doesn't want to run on a wheel?

See if he likes to swim or use a run around ball. If you have more than one kind of wheel, see if he prefers a different style wheel too

I let mine run around the tub or a well vacummed living room (learned that after he dug under the couch and came out chewing a dead bug...ick)

Some love their wheels, like my squee, some like to just run around. Experiment a bit and see what he likes best.
