Hedgehog Water Bottles & Food Bowls
Keep your prickly pal properly hydrated and happy with a hedgehog water bottle or bowl in the enclosure. While opinions vary on whether a bottle or water bowl is better for hedgehogs, you can find many great styles of both. Clean hedgehog food bowls can also be used to serve your little friend water. Here are some popular water feeder types for hedgehogs:
- Small animal water bottle: Cage-mounted reservoir designs with a metal sip spout for drinking
- Cage-mounted water bowls: Elevated to help keep water clean, and tip-resistant, too
- Regular water bowls: Look for sturdy, tip-proof designs that are weighted to avoid spills
You may want to experiment with water bottles and bowls to see which ones your hedgie likes best. Some people like to offer both in the cage to ensure a plentiful supply. Whichever kind your hedgehog prefers, you can find it at Chewy. Shop our great selection for all your feeding and watering needs!
Frequently Asked Questions about Hedgehog Water Bottles & Food Bowls
Can hedgehogs use a water bottle?
Most hedgehogs can use a water bottle. Just be sure to place the bottle in an easily accessible place at the right height. Make sure the bottle is dispensing water properly and that your hedgehog is using it regularly. Some hedgehogs may find the water bottle uncomfortable or have trouble getting out enough water for proper hydration.
Should hedgehogs have a water bottle or bowl?
Some experts say hedgehogs should have a water bowl because it may be easier to drink from, but others recommend a bottle to avoid spills and debris falling in. A cage-mounted bottle may make your hedgehog crane their neck, and the metal spout may damage teeth if your hedgehog chews it. There's also some concern that water bottles dispense too slowly for proper hydration. However, many hedgehogs do just fine with water bottles — ask your vet for personalized guidance.
How much water does a hedgehog need?
A hedgehog needs 1.5 to 3 tablespoons of water a day. Individual consumption varies, but as desert animals, hedgehogs don't need large amounts of water. However, you should always provide your hedgehog with plenty of water to ensure proper hydration.
What do you put water in for hedgehogs?
Put water in a shallow bowl or small animal water bottle for hedgehogs. If you choose a water bowl, be sure to get one that's tip-resistant, since hedgehogs like to root around and often tip over their bowls.
How to tell if a hedgehog is dehydrated?
The best way to tell if a hedgehog is dehydrated is to see a vet. You can also watch for signs of dehydration like dark urine, sunken eyes, or lethargy. Another way to tell is with a skin test — pinch the skin gently and see how quickly it springs back. If it holds its shape for longer than a second, your hedgehog may be dehydrated. See a vet if you suspect dehydration, since it can be a sign or cause of serious health issues.
