New hedgehog owner
Hi everyone! We visited our local exotic pet shop to get a supply of dubias for our bearded dragon while we’re waiting on our delivery to arrive. While there, we were chatting with the owner, who we’ve come to know. They asked us if we’d be interested in a hedgehog that was surrendered to them since they know we take great care of our animals. They don’t know the history of the hedgehog at all. We thought it over, researched and went back to get her the next day. She was in a tiny broken aquarium with no enrichment. We never anticipated getting a hedgehog, but we also knew we could give her a better home that what she’s had.
Right now, she’s in our beardie’s 4x2x2 spare quarantine/boarding enclosure. We’ve ordered her a new enclosure, a wheel, fleece liners, a hide, fleece sock/carrier, some toys, multivitamin, etc.. We had an extra dome heat light for our beardie so we have that set up for her along with a thermostat. We have an appointment with our exotic vet to get her a checkup on Monday.
Thankfully, her diet is similar to our beardies and we have cats so we already had food for her (Wellness Core).
Is there anything else we need or anything we need to change? I have no idea how old she is, she seems pretty sweet and was very active yesterday evening, but we want to ensure the rest of her days of good ones whether that be years or months.
I’ve attached a few pics of her on the way home yesterday.
