Harley’s Bachelor Pad

Breigh September 17, 2006 13

We finally finished working on Harley’s Hedgie Bachelor Pad! 

Here are some photos from when we bought it, before doing anything to it.  You can see how huge it is next to our 180L turtle tank!  It’s actually meant for rabbits or guinea pigs, which is why we had to do some alterations to it. 

Harley's Cage! Harley's Palace

Hedgies aren’t the most hardy of creatures so the wide opening with that wooden ramp really wasn’t going to work, especially because the ramp wasn’t enclosed. If a Harley were to fall off the side of the ramp he could really hurt himself quite badly.

Xander did the DIY, making the hole in the 2nd floor smaller and putting the items I got together to make an enclosed ramp.

I took care of the decorations, toys and sewing the liners, hedgie bags and edges of the ramp enclosure.

Here’s the end result…

First Floor:  

Harley's Pad - Lower level Harley's Pad - Lower Level

Second Floor:  

Harley's Cage - Top level Harley's Cage - Top level Harley's Pad - Top Level

… and finally, Harley excitedly checking out his new digs!

I know this was a lot of pics, but I just had to show it off. He’s so damn cute and I love his new Hedgie Palace!

    Hey, that place is nicer than my house!

    I bet Harley has trouble keeping up the mortgage payments!

    That’s a great home for Harley! Good work. How does he like it? Please tell me he’s not complaining that he wants more space or that the colors are all wrong? LOL
