litter training

As soon as your baby comes home you should start litter training. A shallow pan about 1" deep, large enough to fit his wheel and extending about 6" in front of the wheel is the best.

Whenever hedgie poops, pick the poop and place it in the litter pan. Some hedgies will clue in immediately what the pan is for, others never will. If your hedgie has a wheel, place the litter pan under the wheel so it will catch any poops he does while running.

Recommended litters are Yesterdays News or a couple of pieces of paper towel lying in the litter box. Corncob litter should be avoided as it can get caught in sensitive areas of both sexes and cause infection or injury. Any type of clumping cat litter should also be avoided. When choosing a litter, choose one that is unscented, dust free, non-clumping and avoid small pieces (like corncob).

Sounds
Soft Purring and Whistling: This is a sign of pure contentment.
Puffing: Displeasure, uncertainty
Snorting or "Sneezing": Usually accompanies puffing and means the same thing
Hissing and Clicking: This means "get away from me, I’m scared or tired of you".
Snuffling: Happily checking things out
Chirping: Usually done by males while breeding and by nursing hoglets (babies)
Screaming: Physical pain, fear and sometime anger
Sounds Heard During Sleep: Hedgehogs can actually snore! Similar to dogs and cats, they also appear to dream and will sniff, snort and chirp quietly all the while.
Body Language
Rolled up ball: Fearful
Spines Erect:
All Over: displeasure or fear
On Forehead Only: Cautious, uncertain
Spines Laying Flat All Over: Everything is fine. He feels comfortable and safe.
Circling: To be perfectly honest, we don’t understand this behavior either, but it surely is good exercise! Circling should not, however, be mistaken for pacing - common in animals that are confined in too small an area - since hedgehogs in the wild frequently run circles as well. (Perhaps they know about the Olympics.) Not only do they run in circles, but they often run in figure-eights as well!
Awake time: Your hedgehog is diurnal. This means that, like a cat, he will be awake during parts of both the day and night, but will be most active at dawn and after dark until 2 or 3 am. By handling him mostly during the daytime, you can easily change his sleep habits so that he will sleep more during the night and be more active during the day. If you are normally gone during the day, though, his normal sleep habits will most likely suit you just fine.
Self - Anointing:If your hedgehog smells something he likes or if he simply comes across a smell that he is unfamiliar with, such as leather, perfume, etc., he will foam at the mouth and will then deposit this foamy saliva on his back and shoulders. In an effort to cover as much of their backs as possible with this foam, many hedgehogs will contort their bodies in such a way that they will sometimes fall over.
