Hedgehogs have unique dental and enrichment needs. Their chew toys must be small enough to grip, tough enough to withstand persistent gnawing, and made from safe, non-toxic materials to prevent injury or ingestion. Our editorial team researched the best options to support your hedgehog’s natural chewing instincts while keeping their sensitive mouths safe.

Unlike rodents, hedgehogs do not have continuously growing incisors, but they still need appropriate outlets for chewing to maintain dental health and reduce stress. We focused on toys that are appropriately sized for a hedgehog’s small jaws, free of small parts that could be swallowed, and made from materials that won’t splinter or break into sharp pieces.
