Hey guys!
I just got my first hedgehog a little over a month ago. He was 6 weeks old when I got him and is now about 10 weeks old. I named him Hank.
Anyways in doing my research before I got him most sites said you should not have to clean their cages more than once a week. However, Hank has to has his cleaned 3 times a week at minimum. He is a stinky little guy.
I had started him on dry cat food and had my friend who owns a pet store pick it out to make sure it had the appropriate ingredients and what not. I figured maybe it was the food that was making the odor so bad so I switched him to Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food. He has been on that for about two weeks now and still he stinks.
What I am wondering is what I could switch him to that will cut the odor. I love him to death but he has to stay in my bedroom and he is killing me. Any advice is welcome and if you could suggest specific brands that work for you that would be amazing. I want my little guy to be healthy and happy and I want my room to smell better.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah<3
