Although this is a little belated, Merry Christmas from Herbert! Herbert's gifts this year were very practical, he got some new cage liners and a sleep sack from Desert Hedgehogs on Etsy. They were really wonderful working with me to find the perfect fabric for the liners (comfy but durable), and inside the liners there's even u-haul padding for extra comfort and durability! Plus the patterns are so adorable and I love that the one liner and his new sleep sack match!

I love using the cage liners because they make cleaning everything out so much easier in the end, and you use less bedding! You just pick it up, put the old bedding in the trash, put a new one in, add a thin layer of new bedding over top, and wash the old liner in the washer. Plus it helps to jazz up his tub a little bit.

The sleep sacks are also super useful because it's just a little pocket for him! It makes it easy to trasport him in the car, and it gives him a nice place to make a home in his tub instead of old rags or whatnot.

All in all, a very successful Christmas for Herbert, and we wish you all the best in they upcoming year!

Herbert took a lovely trip to Physical Therapy with my mum and me today! He was very excited to cheer mum on through some hard exercises and get some small cuddles from mum's therapist, Sarah and the other staff/patients. Thank you Drayer staff for letting me bring him in, and I hope you enjoyed his presence!
