She's a baby and babies poop A LOT!! You wouldn't think something so little could make such a mess :) I found that once my hedgies reached about 4 months of age, they started to produce less and had better control of their bowels. Depending on what her diet is will also impact poop amounts.
I used to use Yesterday's News for litter and I would place it in a shallow baking pan under their wheels. Most of them would use it or at least hit it the majority of times. It helps to take old poos and place them in the litter area so they would get the idea. Now I use paper towels in the litter area. More financially feasible with multiple hogs :)

I think baby hedgehogs poop their weight and size of poop everytime they get up. They are poop machines. :laugh: As Tawana said, they do outgrow it.
