Can this be used to heat a Hedgehog cage?

If you use a thermostat with it... Or a lamp dimmer switch... These get pretty hot..like over 100..which is really to hot for even reptiles...lamp dimmers are about $15 at lowes or Home Depot & u just plug it into that

I would not do that at all but, that's my opinion. This unit gets pretty hot. It is designed to radiate heat down. I would buy a heat proof top to sit it on which is what I have. You would never want to burn your animal[s].

If your hedgehog is on the small size. No problem playing in the pit itself, just make sure it can squeeze through the openings.

Probably only if they're sitting underneath it. It'll really only heat a small space. I use it to keep the contents of a 55-gallon drum above freezing, but I think it's really only designed to heat a lizard tank. I'd think even a small room would be too much space for it to keep up with. For a cat room you'd be better off looking at an oil-filled radiant heater or equivalent.

If you want to use an external you should use one similar to the ones used for reptiles. If I remember correctly for this heater the instruction say you have to use it in water or it will melt.

I would not try it. I burnt my first one 's heat element up using it in really cold weather though I had it in my garage at night.

I would say yes. The spacing is very small that a baby hedgehog would do great in it.

This thing sounds good, but if you read the instructions, you can't use it on any type of direct heat. So I would say probably no. Save your money on this and just get a nice metal one. I hope this helps.

Yes you can use it for a rabbit. My cats love it and so does the hedgehog. It can be used for any animal that needs additional heat that is very subtle.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

I have used this kind of bedding, for years, in my Mini Rex bunny's cage and it has worked better than anything I have ever tried. Also, he has lived for 13+ years and that is much, much longer than expected. Obviously it hasn't hurt him a bit. As a matter of fact, it keeps his cage cleaner longer and completely controls urine odor. I cannot speak to it's use for guinea pigs or hedgehogs other than this so maybe checking with a vet wouldn't be a bad idea unless someone else has used it specifically for the animals you have.

It would possibly be a good habitat for a hedgehog, I don't know a lot about caring for a hedgehog or how much room they need, but we have it for a guinea pig and there is plenty of space in there for her even after adding some items :) Hope this helps a little.

Absolutely not! This cage is too small for anything other than a Dwarf Hamster or small mice.

Hello, I have one of these that I use indoors to keep my pet hedgehog's cage warm. They are not very powerful for an outdoor or large space, but a few of them would do the Job. I keep a ~3x2x2 ft cage at 70 F when the room is 64 F. Like I said, it works best in a closed area or at a close distance. As far as quality, I've been very happy with it. It's lasted 2 years with no problems and it's nice that it gives off no light.

I don't see why not. I have a friend whose cat uses it to stay warm sometimes. :o))))

Yes. I have a Californian rabbit that this works well with, so it will definitely work with a hedgehog.

My guess would be that the small would not fit a hedgehog. They make larger sizes. I would call your local pet store and see what size they recommend.
