Model Overview & Print Notes

Hedgehog Corner Sand Bath & Litter Box (2-in-1)

This model was specifically designed to fit the natural behavior of African Pygmy Hedgehogs. While it works perfectly as a corner litter box, many hedgehogs (including mine!) love to use it as a wellness tub or sand bath for rolling and digging in cat litter or sand.

Key Features:

  • Space-Saving Corner Design: Fits perfectly into the corner of your terrarium or cage, leaving more room for other enrichment.

  • Traction Grooves: The entry edge features integrated grooves that act as a "grip zone," making it easy for your pet to enter and exit without slipping.

  • Ergonomic & Rounded: No sharp corners! The smooth, rounded interior is safe for the animal and prevents litter from getting stuck, making cleaning a breeze.

  • Sturdy & Stable: Designed with a low center of gravity to prevent tipping even if your hedgehog gets enthusiastic while rolling.


Technical Details

  • Dimensions: Optimized for standard adult hedgehogs (fits easily into most enclosures).

  • Profile: Corner-oriented with a low-entry front.

  • Material Recommendation: PETG is preferred for its chemical resistance (easier to sanitize), but PLA works well for dry use.


Recommended Print Settings

  • Layer Height: 0.20 mm – 0.28 mm.

  • Wall Loops: 3 or 4 (essential for making it sturdy and "water-tight" against odors).

  • Infill: 10–15% (Gyroid suggested).

  • Supports: No supports needed (designed to be printed easily as is).

  • Orientation: Print flat on its bottom.


Care & Maintenance

For best hygiene, I recommend using a pet-safe disinfectant. Because of the rounded design, there are no "dead zones" where bacteria can grow. If using as a sand bath, fill it with about 2–3 cm of sand or litter to allow your pet to roll comfortably.
