Where else can you put the cage?

Ideally two end tables are best, but if you have a coffee table, then one is fine.

There will be no coffee table. the living room is not wide enough for one. it’s a tiny garden apartment. There is a space next to the front door across from the kitchen that will fit the cage.

I would center the sofa on the wall (ignore the window) and use two side tables.

I have you ever seen a pet cage/crate that doubles as an end table?

I like the idea, however, that’s more for a dog or cat.

Hedgehogs need a heat lamp and plenty of space to roam. They run a lot.

Here is the cage I have if you want a visual.

It’s measurements are 3 ft. L x 2 ft. W x 3ft. 3in. H which is the exact length of the window, so it would sit perfectly underneath the window ledge.

I would say right only if hedge cage will still fit. Can you maybe put some nesting tables somewhere close by you can pull out if needed?

So here are a couple of photos to give you the size of the room.

So the taped area on the right side of the living room would be my computer desk and the non taped area is where the tv will be mounted. Putting the couch on the other side won’t work cause the wall is not wide enough on that end and the couch will stick out of the doorway.

The other place I could put the cage is by the stairway across the fridge. I wasn’t sure what to do with that space yet. Was hoping for a small dining space or more storage (there are no closets in the space).

I would put the cage there by the stairs where there's an outlet for the heat lamp. then center your sofa on the wall and pull the two end tables forward so they align with the front of the sofa's arms. Otherwise, people almost have to reach behind them to set something down on the tables.

Thank you all for the input! So after all the feedback, I decided to see how much the couch would stick out on the other side.

And overall, I think it looks good. I still preferred it on the other side, but with the hand I’m dealt, I think this is the best option. So the hedgehog cage will stay underneath the window, the tv will be mounted to the right of the window, and I’ll put the computer desk by the stairs.

And I can put the office chair next to the couch for extra seating.

Both side tables are great
