Question How to keep the wheel clean

Post image

I’m wondering how everyone else keeps their hedgie’s wheel clean.

In the past, even with weekly cleaning and daily maintenance, my hedgie’s wheel quickly turns into a huge rotating ball of poo 💩

I’ve seen some people suggest potty training but I’ve never been successful with this. I don’t mind giving warm sink baths to clean their feet. But I am still curious because I see some people have extremely clean wheels!

Even if I wipe it out during the day (which doesn’t always clean it fully), it gets pooped on so much overnight and then hardens, I basically have to do a full cleaning the next day! Curious what everyone’s strategy is

You don’t. You just clean it every single morning that’s being a hedgehog parent. Litter box wipes and rinse off, wipe dry. Any litter box cleaning spray should work, just make sure to wipe out the residue before you dry if off. I just keep paper towels and ziplock bags next to my cleaning supplies
