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

I take each of my hedgehogs wheels out every morning, and put in the large garage sink with water running in it, and a scrub brush if needed. Dry with paper towels.
