While hay might seem like a natural bedding option for hedgehogs, it is not the best choice. Hay can be dusty and may cause respiratory issues in hedgehogs, especially if they have sensitive lungs. Additionally, hay can harbor pests and mold, which can lead to health problems.

Instead, consider using safer bedding options such as paper-based bedding (like Carefresh or Kaytee), fleece liners, or aspen shavings. These materials are softer, more absorbent, and less likely to cause irritation or health issues. If you do choose to use fleece, make sure to wash it regularly to maintain cleanliness.

Always ensure that your hedgehog has a comfortable and safe environment for optimal health and happiness!
