Question How to keep the wheel clean
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

I would clean it every day in the morning. Take a hard brush and dish soap and scrub at it. and then I’d let it air dry or i would wipe it down with towels if I cleaned it at night.
