What Bedding Should I Use? - 2008/04/08 10:57 I'm looking to get a hedgehog REAL soon and I was curious as to what bedding would be best for it's cage. Any help us greatly appreciated! Hopefully soon-to-be hedgehog owner!!!

Re:What Bedding Should I Use? - 2008/04/08 11:25 I know a lot of people on this forum use aspen shavings, carefresh, yesterdays news, and pine. I can't really say anything about them because I don't use them.

I use fleece liners, and I wash them about 2-3 times a week. I like liners because they are easy to spot clean and you are able to just take it out and throw it in the laundry. It is cheaper, too because you're not always buying bedding. If you are interested in making them then there are a couple of posts that you can read that tell you how to make them, or look on google and you can find people who sell them.

Good luck with your new hedgie and welcome to the forum

Re:What Bedding Should I Use? - 2008/04/09 00:57 I just recently switched over to liners. I was using aspen shavings before. I didn't like how expensive it could be, how smelly it was (especially after being mixed with urine and feces), how messy it was, and it also wasn't very absorbent. I think Carefresh is probably the only bedding that I actually like using. I use it for my hamster and for Omelette's litter tray. It doesn't have any of the problems as mentioned above. At least IMO. If you are interested in using liners, you can make your own out of fleece. I went to my local fabric store and bought about a yard of fleece and just folded it over. Two pieces of fleece I think are sufficient enough. Lisa
