I just finished making a stand for Cika's wheel. I use PVC pipe (3ft), 3 PVC pipe covers, 2 L joint, 1 T joint, metal saw, knife and iron solderer. I dont use any PVC adhesive or glue, all joints are tight enough and it is easy to change anything if it is not glued. The cost of the stand is not more than rm10.


The tutorial on how to made can be found here Chin Mania and Hedgehog World Forum (have to register first)

It is my hobby . My next future plan when Cika grows up is to make a bigger and longer box using coroplast. Coroplast is fun and cheap than plastic container. I think i can make a 2ft x 2ft box from coroplast which cost about RM12 ( i have to combined them using tape), if i installed wheel (about RM10). A 2ft container box cost about RM40-50.

Yes he is now more active in my room which is dark. Lucky I have made the wheel's stand, easy to take out and clean. Before this i fixed the wheel to the box.

Mydin at its stationary department (2.5ft x 2.5ft about RM6) and Kiang Trading stationary shop, they call it Infla Board.

wah so many hedgies escape from their places. Hope mine do not escape. Where do you keep your hibari? In a container box or what?

Take one piece of RC36, dip in the water and put to his mouth.

I did this when Cika on the second day he was at my home. He was given RC36 before i bought him, the seller dont tell me, I bought 8 in 1 he did not like it. Now I have RC36, i mix both.

currently i am using container box. if you want to make coroplast cage u can google guinea pig cages. here is an example


if u cannot find the cube, u can use the coroplast to make the wall or fender like the video below where the cage is made from coroplast and duct tape only.

i think Hedgehog Corner topic has the highest replies in LYN Petswonderland. Does that means hedgehog is the no 1 famous pet in malaysia? Or maybe in LYN.

tq olivur, looking at your pic, i also have made a toilet for Cika's wheel, its size is about the size 2 pieces of toilet tissues.

my hedgie drink and eat not much like my guinea pig. I give Cika and all my GP the M6 filtered water bought at vending machine in front of BSN. I think hedgie dont drink much, maybe u can try give him a good taste and quality water. My pets dont like Dr Sukida water like M6 water. Even it is a plain water, it has different taste. A good quality mineral water also has good taste.

yes. That's why i made stand for Cika's wheel.

that is ok i guess. more less (lebih kurang) compared to the price we get.

If u buy online u have to pay shipping cost somemore. Just take it and keep it in an air tight container.

try la DIY wheel ...

I am using waveboard (already broken) wheel (I have one left ). U can find it at bicycle shop. Last time I replace the wheel for kid's scooter which looks similar. The spare part wheel is sold about RM15-RM20 each. Alternatively, u can use roller skate wheel, caster wheel (can find at hardware), sliding door caster/ wheels.

I fix the wheel to cake container using cable tie. I made holes on the wheel, cake container and PVC pipe using Iron solderer (only RM2 at RM2 shop). I made stand using PVC pipe (3 Feet), 1 T PVC pipe joint, 2 L and joint 3 caps. Dont glue the pipe because it is tight enough.

For cutting the PVC pipe. I suggest when u bought the pipe u ask them to cut it (2 pieces of 1 feet, 2 pieces of 1/5 feet) this can reduce your work.

I have disambled the wheel and i think the wheel caster also can be used to make a wheel since it also has good bearing.

congrat! picture pls...
