QUOTE(Cimredopyh @ Jan 28 2008, 08:01 PM) Just to let you know Drinking from a bottle is not a natural drinking position for them and hedgehogs necks are not able to bend the way a rodents does. Therefore drinking from a bottle is not only un-natural for them but also uncomfortable. Because of the position hedgehogs tend to bite at the spout more, trying to get the water faster and if a hedgehog chips a tooth on the bottle the tooth does not grow back.  QUOTE(Cimredopyh @ Jan 29 2008, 01:43 AM) The bottle VS bowl issue comes up very often. Bowls are always better You can try it for yourself actually, put both a bowl and a bottle in there, nearly always they will end up using the bowl more  Edit: some links about it http://hedgehogcentral.com/forum/index.php...=bottle,or,bowl http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/showt...tle+bowl&page=2 Added on May 11, 2008, 11:36 pmHeres an old post with pics of Demons cage, Angel is in an identical set up with different colour theme and DIY wheel » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by Cimredopyh: May 11 2008, 11:36 PM |

Yep its fleece, i have 4 sets of liners.
They are actually more cost effective than wood shavings, all you need to do is buy once then keep washing and reusing. With cloth liners your chance of getting mites is reduced by about 90% compared to shavings. Cloth liners will not irritate the skin and nose of both your hedgie and you. With cloth liners you can instantly spot bleeding, or abnormal poo/urine. Change them every 3-4 days, depending on if your hedgie is litter trained or not. I wait till i have a few dirty ones then i give them a rinse to remove any crumbs Both of mine are litter trained tho so other than food crumbs and some poopy footprints the liners stay very clean. ( If your hedgie is a messy one then just soak them for awhile before washing in the machine ) Then i toss all of them in the washing machine with detergent and a cap full of white vinegar ( its a natural disinfectant and odor remover ) Obviously don't wash the liners together with your regular baju, not because its dirty but because quills in your underpants will hurt like heck. Cages are fully washed once a month, and wiped down with baby wipes every other week. You can do a search on cloth liners for hedgies, their a pretty popular alternative amongst Canadian/American hedgie owners.

Not sure about GP's, it could be the same.
But for hedgie liners usually fleece or flannel is needed, any fabric that has loose threads or fabric that will fray when they scratch at it is unsutable. Reason being they they can get their nails or toes tangled in it. Search for info about liners on these forums under the housing sections, lots of people ask about it so you should be able to find lots of useful stuff http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/ http://www.hedgehogcentral.com/forum/ |

Actually why male? you do know some male hedgehogs have a tendency to 'have fun' with themselves and leave hard to clean evidence all over the place right?
