The state of Oregon is famed for its scenic beauty and clean air, but the realities of modern living means that even here, a proactive attitude towards recycling has had to be applied. In fact, Oregon recycling has been a leading light, with the state being the first to introduce a law regarding recycling plastic bottles.
Hedgehogs are a small, insectivorous (insect eating) mammal that can be found throughout the world. They are native to England, Europe, Africa and Asia. The hedgehogs typically found in the pet trade of North America are generally a hybrid of two species, the central African hedgehog and the Algerian hedgehog.
Minimum Cage Size for Pygmy Hedgehogs. Pygmy hedgehogs are solitary animals, and must therefore be housed in separate enclosures. They are nocturnal and can often roam for up to 3 miles a night in the wild, so they appreciate as large a home as possible. The minimum size is 3 feet x 1.5 feet (90cm x 45cm). The cage should consist of one single level only, with no exposed platforms or ladders, as although hedgehogs will attempt to climb, they are not as nimble as hamsters, and can easily fall and break a leg.
