It may be rare to travel with your hedgehog, but if you’re traveling for a short distance or taking a day trip you may want to take him along. If you do, place your hedgehog in a travel size cage so he feels safe and secure. Include lots of bedding for him to burrow in and play in. Bring a food bowl, water bowl and an extra cage side water bottle. Pack food and water for one to two days longer than you will actually be away just in case. Don’t forget to pack cleaning supplies to keep the cage smelling fresh. If your hedgehog has a ball to run inside while out of his cage bring that too so he can exercise. Make sure you pack the cage securely or have someone hold it while driving. If you need additional tips and suggestions for your trip, give your veterinarian Glen Ellyn, IL a call.
