Hey guys! Hope this video was helpful! A video about hibernation and how to help your hedgehog if they do attempt to hibernate will hopefully be out soon to go along with this one!
There isn't a lot going on in this video visually, it is more informational, so feel free to put me on in the background like a podcast, haha!
Thanks for watching! :D
PugPibbleHedgie can you do daily routine
PugPibbleHedgie It was very helpful!!&
+The Finishing Company Yes :) Ideally you want your thermometer as far from the heat lamp as possible to monitor the cages coldest spot.
PugPibbleHedgie thank you so much❤ your videos have helped me so much. I'm getting my hedgehog in 9 days and I'm so excited to welcome her into my family
PugPibbleHedgie how far away does the heat lamp have to be from the hedgehog and does the cage need to have a roof? Lastly how do you keep them from chewing the wires cause I'm scared my hedgie'll try to eat them
My mum bought a hedgehog a couple of years ago, at first she was really good at taking care of it but when she got her ferrets it's almost as if she forgot about the hedgehog. The hedgehog recently started hibernating due to my mum not having proper heating equipment and thanks to you I was able to safely stop the hedgehog from hibernating. I'm now saving up money to buy the right cage, bedding and heat equipment and your videos have been so helpful throughout the process, thank you so much. 🙏❤🦔
My mother and I are going to be getting a hedgehog , and your videos have really helped us figure out what we're going to need to prepare. Thanks!
Me too
For all the people who are wondering how big the cage is in the description she linked the cage in it scroll the the images btw. Its 66 inches tall but I think you can remove the stand :D
If I didn’t find you my hedgehog would be dead so thank you ily!!
Why wouldn’t you research before you got an animal
Maybe they did and this was the research 🤷🏼♀️
Sunflower Days same
Kristy Rowland The accounts I researched on didn’t give me enough information and I didn’t know, so I’m currently attempting to fix my care. That could’ve been the case
Your videos are very informative. Being a first time Hedgehog owner i'm learning a lot. Thank you so much for them, now i know how to set up his home.
Thanks so much for this! Your channel is a wealth of info & has helped with our hedgehog! This past winter was so tricky trying to keep her warm! Next year we will be ready because of your video! Thanks again! xoxo
I'm excited! I just found you while was searching for hedghog cages and needs. I have been trying to find a hedgie and I am having a hard time! Anyway, I trust the right one will come along for me. BUT....I found YOU.... And that is AWESOME! Thank you for your channel!
Hi your videos have helped me and my daughter understand alot more about hedgehog and the way we should be caring for them also we just brought one for my daughter yesterday and found your videos on UA-cam which help us out a whole lot very helpful 😊 we will be Continuing to watch your other videos Thanks again
Thanks you !!! I'm getting my hedgehog in April 9 and I'm so excited i watched all of ur vids on hedgehogs and I learned a lot from u !!!
mack&cheese plate that's tomorrow!! good luck😃
Just want to say thanks for this video, even three years later.
I've been looking into getting some CHE's for my Bearded Dragons and Hedgehogs, but always thought they had to be used with those Wire lamps. So I ALMOST bought some Exo Terra CHE/Wire Lamps, but I learned that's not the case and ordered 4 Fluker's Clamp Lamps and 4 Fluker's CHE instead so now the heat should go where I want it go.
Surprisingly I also saved money.. lol
This is very helpful thank you. I’m getting a hedgehog tomorrow and already have the cage. I’m gonna get the heat stuff when I go to the store to buy my hedgehog. I’ve been wanting one for five years now and finally getting one. Thanks to my mom and dad cause it was one of my Christmas gifts I’m so thankful. 🦔🥺😍🥰❤️
How did that go?
Thank you so much for this video. I’m in the presses of getting a hedgehog. I have reptiles so the heating does not worry me every much since I have a lot of experience with it. I’m going to be getting the same cage you have because I like how sturdy the cage is I have seen good reviews and I also have a kitten that I want to make sure had not way to get into the cage. Other wise I would of gone with a bin cage. Thank you for the video I have been watching a lot of you’re videos.
I got my hedgehog last week, she's really cute and she loves baths, she usually hisses but I know that's normal. she barely ever spikes though, she lets us pet her and hold her during and after bathing and she gets really curious. I love your videos and they help me give her good care, I hope you do another live video Q&A in the future it was really helpful and your piggies are so cute.
How often should Sophia have a bath?
Well done lady. You helped me SOOOO much. xx
Your videos are so helpful ! Thank you
Awesome Video!! Helped so much!!
Cute little hedgie bum,thank you so much for another hedgehog video 😊❤️
I love your videos, they've given me so much information! One thing i wanted to know was if i could use two 8.5 in heating lamps for a c&c cage since our ac turns on an off throughout the day.
Tomorrow we are visiting an exotic animal place not sure what its called but we live in virginia and we found one thats 15 minutes away thanks to you we might get a hedgehog tomorrow so thanks sooo much Tori!
Thank you so much for all your dependable videos. How is the heat going to work with an open-wire cage that I bought him? Does he need a cage with some more-solid sides like the C & C cages coroplast? Otherwise it seems like the room will be heated through the open bars rather than his cage itself! Suggestions? 😊👍💕
hi! love your videos! how should I determine which wattage to buy when getting a heat lamp? I'm getting a hedgie soon and I've bought a 4ft viv for my new baby to live in and am very confused about heating.💗🦔
I LOVE HEDCHG
What wattage is the thermostat? Heating was my main concern but thats perfect!
Ima get a space heater cuz imma get my hedgehog in winter so it’s going to be cold
How do you set up the thermostat? I’m just wondering how it connects to the heat emitter to get it to turn on or off. Is it difficult for a total newbie?
love love LOVE the pattern of your fleece products!! where on earth did you get that??
I buy most of my fleece items from:
facebook.com/whimsewcool/
Tori Lynn could i use a heating pad for a heating device?
No. They will burn your hedgehog and won’t heat the air. Watch the end of the video for more information.
Hi, looking to get the same products as listed, however I cannot figure out if the dome/lamp has a clamp provided with it? I can't seem to find clamps on their own.
So I’m getting my hedgehog heat stuff all in the mail but curious how to set it all up. Do you just plug the heat lamp into the thermostat? Then the thermostat will regulate the cage to keep it at the perfect temp to what you set it at?
Hey! I love your videos, I just got a F hedgehog who is 2 months old about 3-4 days ago, I named her Bella. I've been looking to get her a heating lamp and so forth for her rather large cage. I have the Living World, Deluxe Habitat. I just ordered everything on your list (besides the cage!) and will try to set it all up the same way. My biggest fear is that she will get too hot in her cage and get hurt :(
But I will check back and comment once it's all in and set up in a few days, thanks!
+Tyler Davidson The thermostat is what prevents that :) As long as you have a thermostat, you should be golden!
nice video. It is sad that in my country it is illegal to keep one, hedghog is my favorite animal (that is in the mammal class) besides reptiles. anyway thanks for sharing. Wish to get one, one day when the laws against keeping hedgehogs are abolished.
I just just found your account recently and I was wondering how do you wash your wheels? I have a California bucket wheel and it smells I cleaning it weekly with soap and water but the smell won’t go away. (It does sit above a litter box if that changes anything.
Do you have any recommendations on how to set it up if you’re planning on using a large plastic bin instead of a cage? :)
What should you do for heating for a bin cage if you can't get a stand or something to put the lamp on?
Where is that strawberry fleece igloo from, its really cute??
How do you know how to change :3 the bulb if it doesn’t have the light 💡:3 does it tell you somehow or it’s only if you notice the temperature isn’t so warm?
Thanks I love your videos :)
Is it ok to sit it on top of the cage without it melting through?
hi was was wondering how you setup on for a bin cage
where did you get your lamp at pet smart cause im getting a hedghog btw thx for helping me and i love theese vids:)
Hey, I was wondering if you had any problem with them climbing the cage walls and falling?
how do i travel with my hedgehog like some of my distant family lives in another state and we visit for a couple days every couple months could i bring my hedghog and if i cant how would that work without bonding with my hedgehog for days
Just got mine today!! But can you turn the heat lamp off at night??
Hi tori how are ya? I was hopeing u could help me settle something between me and my dad regarding hedgehog heating. We currently have 2 hedgehogs both with stable heat set ups and actually last week I got the double critter nation and mine is set up almost exactly like urs. I trust ur information and opinions so much when it comes to my babes. We r looking in to getting back ups for everything just incase as ohio has seen a lot of snow and cold lately we just wanna be safe. My heat bulbs are currently white ceramic heat emitter bulbs one is 100w and one is 150w. My dad is convinced that he can get the black colored bulbs that are called ceramic heat lamp infrared light bulb for reptiles. My understanding is infrared bulbs are not good for hedgehogs. He says they are the same just different color but with the word infrared on it I don't feel comfortable. Are those bulbs ok or should we just stick with the white bulbs?
Hi 😊 love it! My question is Can I use a heating pad? Thanks
i’ve heard many times that heating pads can injure the hedgehog, so probably stay clear of them
Hi! Could you put the CHE lamp/dome directly on the top of this cage as well? Thanks for your help!!
I’m sure you could, but it would have to be set higher because the hedgehog would be farther away from the heater. They also might not be able to use the shelf, depending on this.
As for the fleece, is that a pad at the bottom or is it just wrapped around the base of the cage?
Is the fluker's clamp lamp 10in. a good one?
PugPibbleHedgie where did you get the liners to fit the cage you have
Where did you find the stuff to hold up the light and cords up?
Hi I’m getting a hedgehog soon and I want to know would my ac work? We always keep it no higher than 75 and no lower than 73
Where do you get your fleece items for your hedgehogs
Where did you get the fleece bedding for your hedgehog?
does there have to be a heat lamp if the room is already the temp they like?
Do you have a link for your mats? Or do you make them yourself? Could you make a vid about it?
+Tori Lynn Hey, I just got a hedgehog and your videos have been so helpful and informative. You're awesome and I hope you keep making videos! I have a question about my heating setup that I was hoping you could help me with. I used your recommendations for the majority of the setup (cage, Zilla lamp, Zoo Med thermometer, Inkbird thermostat) but I have a different bulb. I got a ceramic heat emitter that emits only heat, no light, but it's 75 watt. I figured that would be fine because the thermostat is what really controls the cage temperature. Based on your recommendation, I wanted the cage temperature range to be between 77-80 degrees, so I set the setting value at 78, the heating differential at 1 degree, and the cooling differential at 2 degrees. I set it so the alarm would go off if it got down to 75 or up to 82. This morning, the thermostat is reading 73.6 degrees and I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong, but I don't want it to get too cold for my hedgehog. Is there a reason you chose a 150 watt bulb? I'm wondering if maybe 75 watt bulb can only heat the cage to a certain extent and if I need a higher wattage bulb to keep my cage the temperature I want. Thanks for any help you can give!
I go with the 150 watt because it’s a stronger bulb and gives off more heat. The lower watt bulbs only get so hot so they can be difficult to get hedgehogs close to 80°. :)
@@ToriLynnPPH Thank you so much!
I keep the house about 78°F do i still need one of these lamps? I have been thinking about getting one of these cages for her. Just want to make sure
I just got my hedgehog unfortunately I don’t have the thermostat I just order it but I do have the heat lamp so that should help out for it tonight
Hi, can I use digital thermometer for aquarium? I can't find any thermometer for terrarium.
Do you try to have a gradient in the cage? I just set up my cage and heat lamp (getting the hedgie in January) and I've been playing around and it seems that it will be warm (like 77-80) on the side with the lamp and tends to be like 70-72 on the other side. I was thinking about putting the bed underneath where the lamp is and then the wheel on the cooler side of the cage. Is this okay? I also have a space heater so I could just supplement my room but would prefer for it to not be that warm all the time. Any advice would be appreciated!!
Where do you get you cage fleece liners at?
How long can it be out of the normal temperature because I am wondering how long I can take them out
Would it be okay to use a 5 1/2 inch dome for my hedgie??
Do you ever turn your CHE lamp switch to the „off“ position to just give it a rest break or is that not needed because of having the thermostat?
I heard you say something about them soaking in vinegar and water, do you have a video going into detail about that? :) I'm getting a hedgie soon and want to bathe him with the right stuff that's safe for him
Do you keep the temperature the same from day to night, I have a ceramic so can I just set the thermostat to 1 temperature and leave it? Thanks 😊
Will I need a dispersal dome if I'm using a vivarium (in the UK) or is a wide ceramic heat emitter enough?
Hi I'm just wondering how much space there should be between the hedghog and the heat lamp?
What about when you get your hedgehog out to hang out but they get cold cause their not in the cage with their heat lamp
Does the heat light stay on all the time?
Where did you get the fleese bedding???
Hey tori! I just wrote you on IG before I saw that you prefer questions here! I got the thermostat that you recommend but I’m having some issues with it and knowing if I have it set up right. Thank you!!
Hey! :) which thermostat did you end up getting, the Zilla or the Inkbird? (:
I got the one that you linked in this video :) I think I have it figured out, it wasn’t going into the “heating” mode and then I realized I needed to adjust some of the settings! Thank you!!!
Do they not ever chew on the wires hanging a bit lower?
The thermostat u listed in the description it turns the heating lamp off if it gets too hot and turns it back down when it dips below the set degrees?
I have one question. If I have a heavy duty cage and my house stays at 70 degrees how much should I put the heat lamp at because it might heat the hole cage up.
I just got a ceramic heat lamp for my hedgehog. I'm wondering, can I keep the lamp on the whole night? Or will the temperature keep on climbing until my hedgehog gets too hot?
Hi I’m am very new about hedgehogs and I’m getting one soon and I have no idea what cage to get,and a heater, I love hedgehogs and really need some tips about safety,and does a hedgehog need a heater all in it’s life in its cage.
How long can you leave them without the heat lamp being on?
What is the best wattage?
Hey, so I live In Arizona and we keep our house at about 75-78 would a heat lamp be necessary? I’m getting a hedgehog in a few days
I only see the 8.5 inch dome sooo would that be fine?
For the bulb is it the 150 watts one.
Have heat mats that you use for geckos would that work
Will hedgehogs chew the cords to the probs and stuff?
I bought a guinea pig cage 30 x 18 inches is that fine for a hedgehog
HI there, thanks for all your videos! we just got a hedgehog and know nothing about them. Our house stays at 72° year around (heat and A/C). Do you think we need to get the heat lamp?
Definitely :) 72*F is the absolute lowest temperature a hedgehog should be at but 75* is usually the safest, so you'll need the ability to control the temperature. You could also use a space heater but I find they have a much larger impact on energy bills.
Does the heat lamp stay on all the time
How tall is your cage in thinking about getting it but I'm a kid and in really short
Would this heating option be ok with a extra large living world habitat?
What watt bulb do you use ?
Are you supposed to use heat lamps all year around?
I can’t seem to find a 10” lamp dome. Can you help?
can you do a daily routine
Are heat lamps pretty safe? :3 I want a hedgehog 🦔 but if my parents don’t agree to heat lamps then I don’t want to risk them going into hibernation without one
They are safe!! You just need a thermometer to check heat they can get hot
Doe there cage have to be somewhere dark or some where lit ?
Hello, I’m wondering where you got the bed that Draco and Blais sleep in. Thank you
kyle haynes I believe she uses WhimSewCool on Etsy. But you can just type in hedgehog snuggle sack on Etsy and a plethora of other kinds come up and you can just shop for a set up once you find a style or pattern you like.
Where did you get your cages
How long can the lamps last and when do you change the bulb
About 5 years
the pymeter I got won't work at night and let's the cage get up to 90f at night! how do I get it to keep it cool?
Hi Tori, This is awesome! Quick question if you don’t mind. For the ceramic heating, I’m looking for an appropriate dome reflector 10” on Amazon. I can only find it under Home and garden. Is this ok? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It should be fine, but make sure it can handle the wattage off bulb you’re buying!(:
PugPibbleHedgie Thank you so much! :) For the ceramic heat emitter, is 100w acceptable, or should it be 150w? Thank you so much 😊
I’d do 150watt personally! You can always turn a higher bulb down, you can’t make a lower bulb hotter than it’s capable (:
With the Thermometer will they eat the dangling bit
