Can hedgehogs have allergies to bedding?

Hedgehog Allergies to Bedding

Yes, hedgehogs can have allergies to certain types of bedding. Some common bedding materials that may cause allergic reactions in hedgehogs include cedar and pine shavings, as they can contain aromatic oils that are harmful to small animals. It's best to avoid these types of bedding and opt for safer alternatives such as aspen shavings, paper-based bedding, or fleece liners. If you suspect your hedgehog is having an allergic reaction to their bedding, look out for symptoms like sneezing, itching, redness, or respiratory issues. In case of an allergic reaction, switch to a different bedding material and consult a veterinarian if the symptoms persist.
