Is it ok to use a c&c cage for hedgehogs? And what is the minimum sizes? I would love to adopt a few hedgehogs. They are so cute.
Yes many use c&c for me my question is always how big can I possibly make it. I'm not a minimum size person at all.

Yes, c&c work well as long as you have:
1) enough space to accommodate hedgie and hedgie's accessories (ie, wheel, hidey place, food & water dishes, place to go potty, room to run around) -- I'd estimate ~3 square feet minimum to fit everything in and have places where hedgie can still roam. Like melbur10, I'm not a minimum size advocate.
2) a way to keep the temp consistent
If you're thinking of multiple hedgies, be aware that housing two males together --> fighting (ie, don't do it); a male and a female --> breeding (ie, don't do it); females together sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Each will need her own wheel and hiding spot. And you'll need to be ready to separate them into their own space if they decide they no longer care for one another or if one becomes ill or injured.
