Hedgehog Litter & Cage Liners

Keep your hedgie happy and healthy with the right hedgehog litter, bedding, and liners. For the enclosure bottom, hedgehog cage liners are a popular choice, providing absorbency and a tidy look, or choose loose small animal bedding instead. You can also try putting bedding or litter into a litter box for potty training. Here are some good things to put at the bottom of your prickly pal's cage:

  • Fleece cage liners: Many people like fleece cage liners for their softness, tidiness, and reusability
  • Disposable cage liners: Absorbent options made from paper, hemp fiber, and more
  • Paper bedding: Soft paper small animal bedding can be a great choice for hedgehogs
  • Aspen or safe wood shavings: Choose ones that are soft and odor-free—avoid woods like cedar and pine that have toxic or irritating oils
  • Pellet small animal litter: Small pelleted bedding can make a good hedgehog cage substrate

Most experts recommend avoiding dusty bedding or materials like corn cob that can easily grow mold. Clay litter, especially the clumping variety, should probably be avoided since it can get stuck to and irritate your hedgehog. Eschew scented litter options, as well—hedgehogs have sensitive respiratory systems and do not do well with fragrance. Luckily, Chewy has a great selection of hedgehog cage liners, litter, bedding and more. Be sure to set all your favorites to Autoship so you never run out!

Frequently Asked Questions about Hedgehog Litter & Cage Liners

What can you use for hedgehog litter?

You can use paper litter, soft Aspen shavings, or pelleted bedding made from hedgehog-safe materials. Just be sure to choose a small animal litter that's soft and unscented for your hedgehog and avoid cedar and clay litter, which can be harmful.

Can hedgehogs be litter trained?

Some hedgehogs can be litter trained, but not all will use a litter box. Start by filling a small animal litter box with a hedgehog-safe litter like paper, pellets, or Aspen shavings. You may want to put some waste in there, or just put your hedgehog into the box whenever he starts to go potty. If you start early and have some patience, you may be able to train your hedgie to use the litter box like a pro!

How often should I change my hedgehog's litter box?

You should change your hedgehog's litter box at least once a week and spot clean it daily. Change litter more often if you notice excess moisture or an unpleasant smell.

What do you put in the bottom of a hedgehog cage?

Put a suitable cage liner or safe bedding material in the bottom of your hedgehog's cage. Many people like to use fleece fabric as a cage liner and loose small animal bedding inside the litter box, but you can use paper bedding, Aspen, and other hedgehog-safe bedding throughout the cage, too. Paper or other disposable cage liners are popular choices, as well.

How often should you wash hedgehog cage liners?

You should wash hedgehog cage liners at least once a week, or more often if they look or smell heavily soiled. You can also choose disposable cage liners if washing frequently is inconvenient.
