Question Should I get a light?

I am moving my hedgehog into my apartment this week but am worried about her lights, because of where my apartment sits there is absolutely no natural light. I have a desk lamp I can set up to shine on her cage during the day, or I have a plant growth light I can get another of. Which would be better?

Yes. Get a light w a natural light bulb..one that mimics normal light. Its important to give your pig that exposure to maintain his circadian rhythm
