Types of enclosures

In the Netherlands, the guideline is to have a residence of at least 100 centimeters wide and 40 centimeters deep. The height does not matter so much, as long as a running wheel in the past and the heat lamp can be hung high enough that it does not burn the hedgehog. A bigger stay is of course always better! In Germany it is even stated by law that a stay must be at least 150 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters deep, which is stated in the housing law for companion animals. Since White-bellied Cones are very active and can go up to 4 kilometers in a night, it is really better to have as large an enclosure as possible.
