Hey everyone! Just a month ago, my first hedgie -Stevie- made her way over rainbow bridge, and I miss her with all my heart. But my love for hedgies continues to grow, despite the lack of one. It could be several months before I decide to get another, but when that time comes I wanna make my new hedgie feel welcome and spoiled to the max. I had Stevie in a Ferret Nation Cage which she 100% loved, as most Hedgies -and people- should. I had a 150 Watt Ceramic Heat Emitter on top of the cage which worked just fine, but I also planted some shelves to keep her stuff on, around her cage. The shelves were taken out for convenience issues after Stevie left us, but now I'm wondering if the shelves were trapping any heat in her cage. The Ferret Nation cages are obviously very open aired, so I'm thinking without something to keep the heat in, the temperature may change drastically. I'm looking to get some sort of clear plastic to atleast cover the back of the cage- possible the sides. I'm hoping this will keep the heat in so I'll have a consistent temperature of about 75 degrees, while still allowing me to see and play with my hedgie. Does anyone have an opinion/any experience dealing with this kind of issue? Thanks a lot!
