Re:TOYS - 2005/10/12 01:10
I would say that the number one favorite toy among my hedgehogs would be a plain old toilet paper tube. As in, the little cardboard insert in the middle of the roll. They shove their heads in them, and then madly thrash around the cage. If you pull the tube off, they often give you a nasty look, and promptly shove their heads back into the tube.
Other options include the plastic cat balls, preferably the solid kind. The ones with the many gaps can get stuck on a hedgehog's mouth, and cause major problems. You can also get cat toys at kmart at least that are made out of things similar to the little craft pompoms. These come in some adorable critter shapes, and greatly amuse a lot of my hedgehogs.
Essentially anything that is pushable, pullable, carryable, rollable, etc. can be considered for a hedgehog toy, as long as it doesn't have any sharp edges, small peices, loose threads, etc. If it is something that could be considered safe for a small child, it is typically safe for a hedgehog. Half of the fun of having a hedgehog is seeing what your individual hedgehog enjoys. One of the hedgehogs I had very early on in my hedgehog ownership days laid claim to a baby sock of my daughters. You could take it away from him, and the next time he was out of his cage for play time, he would end up finding another one and dragging it across the floor.
