Click here to see the profile of this user 		Question... - 2008/04/12 09:29 I'm looking to get a hedgehog and was wondering if I kept her strictly in my room, would a stench carry throughout my house. I mean any at all, not just the bad ones.

Thanks! Hopefully soon-to-be hedgehog owner!!!

The only thing that even remotely smells are her poops but that is to be expected. Everyone's poops smell Every morning before work I get up and scoop them out. It takes less than five minutes and then there is no smell at all. Seriously I think my boyfriend smells more than her. Becky

I think hedgehogs by nature are fairly clean animals and, correct me if I'm wrong, don't carry any smells. Dingo's mom

I clean her wheel and litter tray every day and you wouldn't know it. It certainly doesn't carry through the house and I can only smell her waste when I'm standing directly over the cage and it is fresh.

I agree with Aaria... she definitely smells less than my boyfriend Ava's mom!

LOL! I definitely agree! My boyfriend has to have the stinkiest feet! Even Omelette's poopyfeet don't compare! As far as any stench radiating through the my apartment, if Omelette poops I don't smell it if I'm in another room. Lisa

It really needs to be washed pretty much every day otherwise the poo/pee will build up and stink. Also if you keep your wheel clean then your hedgehog will not be running on a stinky and dirty wheel so it will keep him or her clean as well. Check out Ham's Blog !
