Yes, hedgehogs can develop respiratory issues from certain types of bedding. It's important to choose bedding that is safe and suitable for their health. Some bedding materials, like cedar or pine shavings, release aromatic oils that can irritate a hedgehog's respiratory system and lead to problems such as wheezing or labored breathing. Instead, opt for bedding made from paper-based products, aspen shavings, or fleece liners, which are generally safer for hedgehogs. Always ensure that the bedding is clean and dry, as damp bedding can also contribute to respiratory issues. Regularly changing the bedding and maintaining a clean habitat can help prevent these health concerns.
