I dont have a picture available, but I use a zoozone which is mostly all plastic but has a grated lid at the top

Or you can use a nero cage, but most dont like these as there has been issues with hoggies catching the limbs when they climb.

nero cages

[hoglet]

I use the Zoo Zone's for my hogs, I prefer the all plastic with the Mesh top, although I know many people use the Nero type I don't recommend them when people come to me as hog are very adventurous and will climb the mesh, I've also heard stories of babies getting through the mesh of the cages.
Viv's stacks are becoming more popular with the additonal ventilation added for air flow, some of the one I've seen look fabulous, This may be the next move for me.

I've used every enclosure known to man
I am currently using zoozones,vivariums,sterlite boxes & neros...
The best and most practical so far for me are the neros& vivariums.Will post pics this evening with a few fab ideas on other cages and conversions.

It should be noted that very small hedgies can escape from neros due to the bar spacing size and if you have a climbing hedgie then you will want to climb proof the cage...

For babies we now use Zoo Zones as we have had a baby escape from a Nero enclosure. Luckily no harm and did not lose her.
The larger hedgehogs we keep in Nero cages. We have never had an animal injure itself. They are stackable (two or three high for safety ), do not need to unstack for basic care, ie feeding, water, checking hedgehogs, etc as they also have a front entrance as well as a top entrance. Zoo Zones if you stack them you need to unstack to do anything, they only have the top entrance.
I would suspect Zoo Zones retain heat a little better but this is not a problem if room is warm.

Personally i wouldn't stack zoozones as hedgies need a good airflow...
Agree with the ease of the neros...very easy to maintain and get to.

Personally don't stack Zoo Zones as we only have a couple for babies / youngsters, but quite a good point. Its is somethig never really thought about.

[Heavenlyhogs]

i know of a few breeders that do stack Zoozones
Me personally i wouldn't.
Zoozones IMO are only really suitable for babies.Wouldn't house any of my adults in one long term.
Buy hey each to their own.
