DO NOT BUY FOR IGEL

Too bad there isn't a zero star option. You must stop promoting this hedgehog bike immediately. It's also sad because when I unboxed it I was struck by its sleek design and super quiet spin abilities. I'm used to paying high prices for the best hedgehog bike on the market, the Carolina Paddle Bike. As I was expecting children, I bought a small balance bike first to decide if I wanted to invest in the high cost of the large balance bikes. I won't speculate as to why this company decided to go the cheap route and not make a one-piece part for the wheel guide, instead using a thin plastic connector to hold a strip of thin plastic in the shape of a wheel. This creates a lump in the walking space and holes between the lumps, and anyone who has hedgehogs knows they have incredibly sensitive feet. Against my intuition, I decided to let her try anyway. I probably hoped against hope that this wouldn't be a problem, but most pet owners know that there's nothing worse than the guilt that comes from making bad decisions that lead to harm. When I woke up I found a freaking bike the first day my boys left their mom for her cage. I'm pretty sure I won't feel too bad seeing this company burn down because they advertise for hedgehog owners. There seems to be great reviews for rats and the like, but hedgehogs aren't rats so it's my duty to let people know: DON'T BUY FOR THE HORZHONS! For the love of hedgehogs, DO NOT BUY THIS BIKE! Did I use enough exclamation marks? I doubt it.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
