1. **Cedar Shavings**: Cedar shavings can release oils that are harmful to hedgehogs and can lead to respiratory issues. The scent can also be overwhelming for them.
2. **Pine Shavings**: Similar to cedar, pine shavings contain phenols that can irritate the skin and respiratory system of hedgehogs. It's best to avoid using this type of bedding altogether.
3. **Straw or Hay**: While these materials may seem natural, they can be scratchy and uncomfortable for hedgehogs. Additionally, they can harbor pests and mold, which can be detrimental to your pet's health.
4. **Cat Litter**: Most cat litters are not suitable for hedgehogs, especially clumping litters, as they can cause digestive issues if ingested. Some litters may also contain fragrances that can irritate your hedgehog's sensitive nose.
5. **Newspaper**: While newspaper is often used as a temporary bedding option, the ink can be harmful if ingested, and it doesn't provide the warmth and comfort that hedgehogs need.
Instead, consider using safe bedding options such as paper-based bedding, aspen shavings (not cedar or pine), or fleece liners that can be washed and reused. Always ensure that whatever bedding you choose is free from harmful chemicals and fragrances to keep your hedgehog happy and healthy.
