Hi jediknight,

Yes, they do need a wheel. I haven't bought one yet coz I'm scouting for a resonable one. Only 1 o 2 petshops in KL sell chinchilla wheels and it's like RM60 for one wheel!!! Hedgehogs do need to have exercise. I don't have a wheel yet so everynight my Sparky gets to have the whole living room to himself for about an hour. Then it is back into his box which is still spacious enough for him to walk about.

Thank you for your info on catfood.

Hedgehogs also can take dogfood, provided that there is no corn meal or corn glutten.

I'm currently feeding my hedgehog on:

Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's soul
Evovle dog's adult formula
Go Natural cat food
Royal Canin BabyCat

Giving a mixture of 3 types of food is better than only feeding one coz each kibble has different ingredients and vitamins and since there isn't any hedgehog food available in the market, catfood and dogfood comes close to their diet.
