| 1. Toilet paper tubes:
Hedgies like to wear them on their head and play “tank.” Some hedgies love them so much that they even learn to eat and to drink from a water bottle with the tube on their head! Caution should be noted, however. Smaller hedgies can get stuck in the tubes, and they can break forequills or develop a flattened area of forequills (kind of like humans with “hat head”). 2. Boxes:
I was surprised to find that mine really like boxes that are short and wide. Cereal boxes, or boxes for things like rice-a-roni are big hits! Kleenex boxes are a favorite, too. Be sure to remove any plastic packaging. 3. Plastic Easter eggs:
We put the hedgie’s favorite treat inside. They can actually get them open to get the treat! Amazing! 4. Plastic dump trucks:
Hedgies like to push these and climb on them. They can learn to dump the bed to get to the treats! 5. Cat balls with bells inside:
Many hedgies like to push these around. I had one grumpy rescue who, for the longest time, would never let me see him out of a ball. But, I could always hear him in his cage, playing with his ball, when I wasn’t looking. Just be sure it doesn’t have any sharp edges that a hedgie could cut its tongue on.

| From memory one person ordered some leaves that had been treated for use with pets etc but cannot remember where they were from - finacard would be better than fleece or small animal bedding - the paper type would be ok x | |

| some hedgies love toilet tubes more than others. i hide treats under toys, balls, tubes etc so they have to go round moving everything to get their treats. x | |
