I used to have a pet bunny that recently passed away. We potty trained him so that he could wander the house freely. We did this by placing his food in his litter box until he got the idea of things. Would this be possible with a hedgehog as well?

Just to add always make sure you visit the breeder in there home. sounds obvious but lots of people meet with new pets especially the more rare kinds because they will have to travel further to aquire their new pet. I am not going to mention any names but i recently went to have a look at an exotic pet i was thinking of keeping before making up my mind about owning one and although this person sounded lovely via the internet and was very friendly to me, the conditions in which the animals were living in were bad to put it politely! they were very unclean and there were a lot of flies which of course is not going to be good for the animal so just really remember that even when somebody seems really really nice you can’t take that as a guarantee that your animal is going to be coming from a healthy home. i know a lot of people meet half way when their new pet is quite far away but i think it is very important for that extra bit of travel to see how your potential new pet is kept.
