i also facing this problem...hard to cut my hedgie front nails..but behind a bit easier...once i grab his front leg sure he struggle and pull away...

jitshiong this is my lates update....laaaa

My boys love the girl name her Tut-Tut.... got her a large toyogo box as her play ground....oh she loves it.... She get treats most of the time....

But my youngest son still dare not pick her up.... but the eldest can.
He is still trying....She is almost toilet train.... every time she poo/pee in there she get treats....yummmyyyyy...

Now my question is how many times do you need to shower them....

once a month ok...

yeah...i shower mine once once to twice a month...depending on how they smell..

u cannto trim too deep
not like our nails...cos they got veins..
so look at the nails first
jsut trim the end of it
if u trim all the way to the toes, like how u trim ur own nails then sure bleed wan
hehe

Ha ha ha....OK!!!!! Once a month eh!!!!!!! Wokey!!!!!

Yes....Darren feeling but he say's he is not giving up on her....

Then he ask me can ask the Uncle to teach me again ah!!!!!

Just bought a litter box for my JimJim ytd...wanted to toilet train him..if not he poo everywhere inside his cage...even inside his food bowl sometimes...is it just pick his poo poo and put inside the litter box for some period until he can manage to pee & poo inside the litter box one day only means success??

Yes... just pick it up and put it there....

And when they poo/pee in there give them treats... and tell them "SO CLEVER" My son talk to her even tho he dare not pick her up yet!!!!!!

They listen.....

that's the problem jit shiong... I cannot agak agak... if you were to turn their feet and see the amount of flesh that covers the nail, it covers most of it. So cutting the nails is really hard especially when you do not have a pair of steady hands like me... Hehehe... Is it possible to lace the running wheel with the sand paper? similar type whereby they use for suggies?

NO!!!!!
they will run until their leg bleed!!!!]
no no no

when u free come find me la..
i teach u how to do it....

For those who managed to potty trained their hedgie, what type of substrate do u used for the litter box?
i had once trained my hedgie to use litter box...Since i'm noob, that time i used normal cat litter as substrate...

However, after about 2 weeks i had to stop use the litter box due to:
1) normall cat litter (tiny one like artificial sand) no good for hedgie especially male since it will get stuck in the p*nis .
2) My hedgie love to use the litter box but after peeing/poop, he will dig the subtrate (like cat) to cover his 'leftover'. So end-up the litter substrate being splash all around outside the litter box ..it so messy...

Appreciate any advise

Oh.....

I use my old Tupperware cover as a litter box... then put newspaper on it...

OK bro...will look for you... better still if you do it for me...hehehe...dim sum below your office on me...

Call me too......

you come and pay or you come and see?

We share the cost OK!!!! AH!!!!!

Hey guys, just got an s&p female hedgehog from a fellow breeder in lyn, and i must say she looks awfully CUTE!!! x) She's still very timid as she's in a new surrounding and all.. new to keeping hedgehogs so i hope u guys can give me lotsa advise and tips, as well as put up with my silly questions in the future..

Oh btw, is it okay to feed RC33 to hedgehogs? about 7-8 weeks old..

I think it's not RC33..

but RC 36..

Hmm i know, but i kinda got RC33 instead so i was wondering if it were okay if she had RC33 instead, or must i change to RC 36 or 32 ? Cuz if not i was thinking if i could finish up RC33 be4 gettin 36..

could you try and mix it then? how much did you buy?
