Hei! <br> <br>I think there is no special law about hedgehogs as a pet in Finland. <br>Or I just have not found anything... <br>Hedgie is such a new animal as a pet here. <br>(Of course there is law about wild hedgehogs, that you cannot have them as a pet.) <br> <br>There is some special laws about cats, and dogs and rabbits and rats and so on, which are very common and "old" as pets. <br>I have found only common advices about keeping other animals, which say for example: <br> <br>2 § <br>Belysningen i förvaringsutrymmet skall vara lämplig för tillgodoseende av djurets fysiologiska och beteendemässiga behov och sådan att djuret kan inspekteras och skötas på behörigt sätt. <br> <br>I think finnish law about pets is not really good or accurate, and there is a lots of things missing with tropical animals for example. <br> <br>Here is finnish law about animals in swedish <img src="http://www.suomensiiliyhdistys.fi/forum17/img/smile/grin.gif" border="0" align="" alt=""> <br> <br><a href="http://www.finlex.fi/sv/laki/alkup/1996/19960247/ " target="_new">http://www.finlex.fi/sv/laki/alkup/1996/19960247/ </a><br> <br>If you can find there anything interesting...

ok thank you, i dont agree whit the swedish law i think that it is unpossible to have 20 kvm for a pet so we are tying to do somthing about it and i am trying to get information how the law looks like in conties around us. <br> <br>the sewdish law alo says that this 20 kvm is on daytime and about 6 kvm on the night, that is also stupid in sweden the law for having a cow is in about 20 kvm. <br> <br>my hedgehogs har a rabbit cage and it is always open so they can come out at nigt to the room of 15 kvm. they live in separate rooms.

i have also a cage for ramses.of course it's always better if you can offer as large as possible space for your hedgie. <br> <br>there are finnish hedgies apartments... <br> <br><a href="http://www.apollosiili.net/asunto.html" target="_new">http://www.apollosiili.net/asunto.html</a>

Suomen Siiliyhdistys has given a guide line ("suositus" in finnish) hedgehogs gage should be at least 1 m2 (or has it been changed to be 2 m2, I do not remember). Running wheel is very warmly recommended for every hedgehog. This is just only recommendatition not law.
