Thanks for the tips about the water bottle. For what it's worth, we didn't use one for very long. For most of his life, Yozhik drank out of a tiny bowl (also shown in the video), but when his paralysis began to take hold after the surgery, he had trouble holding up his head. We worried that one day his head would fall into the water and he wouldn't be able to lift it up again. Hi, Lara.

I am a hedgie owner myself. I just got a bit worried about the water feeder I saw in the video. While they are good for rodents they are not for hedgies. If a hedgie is not careful he/she can break their tooth on the metal, rodents can regrow teeth if this happens, but hedgehogs can't. I just wanted to let you know so you do not have another unfortunate hedgehog incident. Thanks! I saw the video on utube and I am very sorry for your loss. I am a hedgie owner myself.
