ooo...
thnk u eric.. i kcau him alot la
i give him more time alone from now

for ventilation should be fine, but i think you'd probably have to be concerned if it's going to be a bit too suffocating for the hedgehog itself, considering that it will definitely pee and poo in the box.

Eh actually is 2 months. heh. typo.





Suffocating, and by that do you mean the fleece/towel? Should I remove it? Cause the bedding issue is really

Or should i just cut the top off... and glue it with a wire mesh.

Hello everybody....

My name is Nemo


Dun take my pictures la...i'm shy


He got pissed cos i didn't pay him modelling fees

I use fleece as bedding. But i am using zoozone 2.. 99cmx51cmx37cm.. and i leave the top cover open 24/7..

Hehe... when ur hedgie grow bigger like kenken, then u will realize the box is too small for them to move.. esp after u put in the wheel..

at 32cm high, i think it's adequate for you to leave the top open 24/7 and won't have to be worried that it'll escape.

what i meant was although there will be air circulation, the smell produced from the faeces will remain trapped in the box and it'll create an unhygienic condition for your hedgehog. also, should the faeces remain uncleared for several days, you'll probably find the box a bit humid as well from heat emission.

and eric's right, the enclosure now may be appropriate for the time being, but if you are going to include a wheel anytime in the near future that will be a little small for your hedgehog once it reaches adulthood.

Yup im definitely gonna change by then. Okie Ill try to leave the top open.


But right now. i'm trying systematic desensitization for my family.

they don't know yet :3

Aiks...hw can you add in a pets without acknowledging your parents/family members?

Esp if you r still young and staying with family...

And from your words, it sounds like your family will object.

better check with ur family first...
later object how?
then how bout the poor hoglet?
i faced that one from one of the adopter

Haha don't worry guys. They know im getting something but they don't know what i'm getting. Cause I dont tell them.

I'm 18 already so i'm not some small kid buying without knowledge.

I own 1 snake and about 25 spiders so yes. It's not a problem. My sister has 2 bearded dragons.


and the reason i'm not telling them is because they think i'm gonna get something reptile-ish/poisonous which is what I'm usually into.

A hedgehog is a change. And if i tell them a hedgehog they would be like "??? what is that? porcupine? so big? will poke u and die" and all that nonsense.

And I don't want them to get the wrong idea. They aren't the people who will listen to reason. So the only way they will understand is to see it itself.

And that's what I've been doing with all my pets. So far so good.
