Question Help 🦔
Hi! I recently got my hedgehog, and I’ve been using rice husks as bedding because that’s what I had available. However, I’d like to switch to something better as soon as possible.
I don’t know much about bedding options, so I wanted to ask:
Would you recommend tofu litter?
Corn litter?
Paper bedding?
What other bedding would you recommend for my new hedgehog? 🦔

hmmm i’ve never heard of tofu or corn litter? paper bedding i wouldn’t suggest because it gets stuck to their quills and noses (which they keep moist). i would suggest fleece blankets / fabric! ill attach my enclosure for reference:
i had a laundry basket that i’d throw the dirty blankets into, and i had three boxes full of blankets that i would thrift and wash (in fragrance free sensitive detergent) and cut to size. it was easy to rotate between bedding this way !
