How to Make Hedgehog Toys

As with all pets, a hedgehog needs exercise and opportunities to explore the world outside its cage. Although the spiny, playful mammal will enjoy exploring no-frills toys such as toilet paper tubes and empty boxes, you can make a permanent and more aesthetically pleasing toy out of PVC pipes. During supervised play, a hedgehog will find ways to explore and hide in the empty pipe tunnels.

      Sand the cut edges of pipe to smooth them so your pet will not get cut.
