Is the wire spacing appropriate for baby hedgehogs?

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

No, the spacing is too large for hamsters. Excellent cage for chinchillas, guinea pigs, and adult rats. We use it for a Holland Lop rabbit.

I have found that there is too much space between the wires for small animals...I have a chinchilla and he constantly escapes from it.

Its not bad, It has lasted through the winter and we have not had any issues with predators in the caged area. It seems well made if a little small. The wire should be fine. its built into the wood.

Agree with Paul on spacing. My biggest issue was base did not seat securely and I had to run string to be sure the rambuncuous kittens I put in it did not knock it off! You possibly could also run some wire to secure the top better.

Yuppin, each panel attaches individually to the next one, so you can configure any way you like. The top supports stretch width-wise over a 4' space. As long as width is 4', you should not have a problem lengthening unit as puppy grows. Its been over 3 yrs now and my unit is as good as day we put it together. Elements do not harm wire. If stiched tarp does not work over 4x4 you can easily find a smaller square waterproof tarp - 5x5 or 6x6 and use bungy cords to attach thru grommets. Then keep larger tarp for when you've reached 4x8 size.

The spacing is just narrower than the diameter of a US Quarter coin. If you try you can push the quarter through as the bars will flex a bit. We have a hedgehog in this cage and he is safe and cannot squeeze through the openings.

Not sure what kind of requirements a hedgehog needs but I'm sure this would probably work. If they climb, the plastic bottom sides are probably high enough the hedgehog could not get up to the wire top. If this is the same 48X24 cage I got, make sure you have plenty of room for it.

Hedgies don't need vertical space, and will often walk right off shelves and ramps, causing them to get hurt. I wouldn't recommend this cage for a hedgehog at all.

Unless the hedgehog is the size of an albino mouse, then no. The tubes are way too narrow for even a standard sized hamster. I would doubt that any cage specified for a hamster of any size would be too small. You may be better off getting a cage meant for a guinea pig or rabbit, since hedgehogs do tend to continue growing. There are links to make your own cages(which we did for our guinea pigs)on Google. www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm is the site we used to make our cages. Total cost would run you about $40 and that is for the 4ftx2ft.

i think it is big enough for them to fly in, only if you dont put much inside the cage. the wire is about 1/16 of an inch thick.

Yes. It is a very bright light, and I would not expect a hedgehog to pleased with it.

Yes the wire bottom can be removed from this cage for smaller animals my son has dwarf hamsters

we had a hedgehog (pigmey) a few years ago. yes I believe it would work, make sure you get them a big wheel for exercise.

The gaps are about 2.5 inches at any given point. The widest one is slightly more, the thinnest is slightly less. So it depends how rotund or inventive Mr. Kitty is! You could maybe screw some garden wire-mesh stuff into the gate if he's a very little guy.
