yea, care also different, need also different
if u r thinking of price only, y dun just get hamsters?
much cheaper start up cost...

well, it's not off topic..
cos their diet is important to their health...
it's not about the best possible food, but the right food...
fruits? not the right fruit...once in a while u can try but they usually dun eat fruits....

hate to say it cos u already asked not to, but bring it to the vet?

ur stories all very contradicting la...
dun really understand the picture here...

i remember in another thread, u say that u bought ur hedgehog from your cousin..
now here in hedgehog thread u say u buy from breeder...

so how many hedgehogs do u have here?

2 months old?
separate them

they r solitary animals, family also cannot live together
male female, lagi cannot live together, inbreeding

so u got the hoglet from ur cousin?
yea, 6 weeks is minimum
2 months is definitely separable de
dun put them together anymore

they can eat now...
but as hoglets, they need more fats n proteins to grow
so it's better to feed 36..
32 will do just fine...

oh my god!!
poor fella...
look at his legs..
dunno what's that brown thing sticking...
dunno that dye safe or not also...
sigh...

u didn't plan for this pregnancy?
y did u pair them in the first place?
read up on how to care for pregnant hedgies.
separate the mom n dad
or they'll eat all the babies when they r out.
hedgehogs r solitary animal, they live alone
only pair them to breed, else never do that

u can have more than 1, but must house them separately....

use a sppon...
if the hoglet smells different, the mom might eat it
most of the time the mommy will put the hoglets in the nesting place....


dun try n peek at the hoglets, the mom might feel threaten n eat the babies...
best way to look that the babies is to give her a hide box that u can open the top
when she comes out to eat, u can peek at the babies...

got subaidah there.....

hoglets will usually shed 3 times be4 the adult quills appear..
so it's normal for them to be quilling...

Very spacious indeed, but the height concerns me.....
he can surely climb out of it

if my spelling is right, that's called anointing.....
like what pink baby say, they do that when they smell something they r unfamiliar with

hahaha, i tot colour preference is the choice of the owner?
lol!
where got ppl ask which colour nicer....
as long as u think it's nice then it's nice de ma
unless u r talking bout rarity...
get pinto...

that's not true...
they dun have season or anything, that's y it's important for the breeder to control the breeding or it will be bad for the mother
normally the breeder won't breed the mother more than 2 times a year...
it's important to separate the hoglets from the mommy at 3 months old cos if not the male hoglet might be mature n mate with the mother...back to back breeding is not good for the mother's body, very stressful

then u pray hard lo...
but i guess not la..
2.5 month is too early la...
should be ok....
unless urs really super fast in maturing
lol!!!

Absolutely correct!

I think u can find some home breeders in lyn sales thread
ask around, then go take a look at the hedgehog n then see how they handle their pets...
u can see how's the temperament of the hoglet from there

hehe, if u ask me a year back i would sell u hoglets..
but i dun breed them anymore
cheers!

probably the mom ate the babies de...if it's the placenta

can, no problem
just dun feed too much
else he'll become a giant ball
