ill update mine once iv moved into my pent house....

hi i was just wondering what are the appropriate dimensions for a hoggy home as i am wnating to do something similiar to your beautiful hogy homes and wanted to make sure the sizes were right for wheel and litter tray and such xx

hiya giggles! the minimum sizes required are 3ft by 1.5ft... but obviously the bigger the better

nice to have you on the forum hun, have you been over to introductions to say hi? xxx

Hita giggles this is a home made ikea unit 2ft but 4ft Hugh with 2 levels....my new vivs are 4ft long which are a nice size!!

yeah my heat mat is in the middle one threaded through the hole in the back under my liner...you can buy these in any pet shop...vx48 like helen said....nice size.

i personally think the top 3foot one is small, which came with flint, when i got him...but its good for my pregnant mums... which poppet aint a very active hog any ways. plus that wooden cabin is tiny, wouldnt recommend that either.

The 36 inch by 18 inch are fine Tayer i think the one you have is 3ft by 15 inch . The standard housing is 36inch by 18inch but the bigger the better .x

you can see the difference in size, when they are all together.

One of mine .x Nelson isn't using a wheel at the moment as his foot is healing nicely , Humprhey's is out for wash .x

This one will be sold to get new ones for my Hoggie Hotel .x[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

so what if the hedgehog goes under the liner straight onto the mat? or dont they get hot enough to burn?

so yours is all stacked together lou they look fab. iam just interested where everyone gets these from or iam thinking a home diy project for my hubby is on the cards.

i have a thermostat on mine...so it will never o hotter than 24c...i want them little lego huts.

oh right thanks tayer.

As you can see Nelson does not sleep in his Igloo .. lol he sleeps under his liner . Bottom viv is Nigel's ...

I have my heating on all the time , ask Helen . she had to open the window she was that hot .. in her bedroom .... so i only tend to have my heat mats in when it's extra cold .x

ha,ha. so does your other viv you will be selling look like the ones on the stack. i suppose they will sleep wherever they want to but why a hard floor and not a cozy igloo.lol.

flint sleeps under his liner, and i think it is because the wood keeps the hogs warm...flint is boiling and so is the spot of wood he sleeps on....! but he had been in his pouch last night and this morning!!

I have all different types Gem , I can use my single ones in my hoggie hotel the only reason for selling the stack it's to big to go in it .x

it doesnt come apart then lou?? coz mine are single ones stacked...were these made for you?? or bought?

This is a custom built stack all in one piece .x

it looks bought...fair play...x

oh right sorry got confused i thought you had a single viv aswell.doh. is there a post on here anywhere on how to make your own viv?

I do Gem i have several vivs these are just four of my hoggies homes .. I'm just not sure when i will sell them as i can use them in the hotel for a little bit .. i will eventually replace all but the four stack will have to go .x

i get cofused easy.lol.
