Yes Hedgies like wheels, at least my Speedy does.


If they eat cat food it needs to be a high quality kitten food like Authority or Science diet. I feed a mixture of both.


They do need to be groomed. I think you saw Speedy bath picture right? hehe You need tweezers to pick out anything that gets stuck between their quills. If you get a baby don't hold him while he is quilling because it hurts.


I wouldn't feed any insects unless they are domestic raised. Speedy gets superworms, meal worms, crickets, and freeze dried crickets too.


They have special diets formulated for hedgies as well. Speedy sometimes gets Briskys. They are online.


It sounds like you have done your research. Hedgies can make great pets!
