How to Care For Your Pet Hedgehog



Here is some information we have discovered about how to care for a pet hedgehog:

- Hedgehogs need food. Our hedgehog eats Hedgehog Formula. We give her carrots, insects, and wet dog food or cat food for treats.
- Hedgehogs need a lot of water.
- Hedgehogs need toys. Our Hedgie has a running wheel.
- Hedgehogs need big cages so they can run around. The cage needs a lid because hedgehogs are good climbers.
- We need to clean out the cage once a week.
- Hedgehogs need a litter box to go to the bathroom.
- The area where a hedgehog lives needs to be warm but not in direct sunlight.
- Hedeghogs need a hiding place.

Hedgie Arrives!





Today we arrived at our classroom after gym only to discover that someone (or some THING) had taken Mrs. Knowler's keys!!! We found a note that left us clues and led us on a scavenger hunt all around the school yard! When it was finished, we were led back to our classroom to find that we had a new class pet! A hedgehog! Here are some pictures of the hedgehog that Mrs. Knowler and her husband took!
