albino african pygmy hedgehog

[SWsarah]

Well i have just brought a albino african pygmy hedgehog, and i just want to make sure i am doing everything right, if not can you point me in the right direction.
He is housed in a indoor rabbit cage, he has hides, water bowl, food bowl, heat mat.
He has saw dust shavings for bedding, is hemp ok to use?
Food: cat buiscuts but change the flavour every few weeks, wax worm every two weeks.
If there is anything else i need to do please can you let me know. Thank you.

You can buy a canned hedgehog food which is called spikes dinner. We used to give ours that. Your setup sounds fine.

They adore giant mealworms, we used to give them to our breeders every 2-3 days!! .
You can give them a toilet area, just suss out where he/she's doing most of the poops, and put some wood based cat litter down in a shallow cat litter tray, they will happily use it, and it makes the cage easier for you to clean out.

I don't use the heat mat anymore seen as it is summer. I will use it in the winter as it can get quite cold in the room he lives in.
