that's one nice hedgehog u have there..
is it a snowflake or a s&p?

u asking me??

Kenken is snowflake..

i see...

hye guys...
last sunday my hedgie giving a birth 5 hoglet but very sad coz 3 of them dead...
now only 2 left...
jit i want to apologize 2 u...
diz is the survived hoglet

fren...
dun touch it with ur bare hands....
u r increasing the chances of it eaten....
my god...pls read up on breeding first

i must touch them dat time coz their mum place very dirty...
i need to clean the place...
after clean i never touch them...
dun worrie...

i tot we shouldnt clean their cage and bedding after given birth?? It will stress them up wo..

but i MUST coz i can't stand the smell...

....
i dunno what to say anymore...
it seems that u have no idea about breeding at all....

probably that's one of the factor that contributed to the mommy killing the hoglets....
1st, u cannot hold them
2nd, u should not change the bedding, change in the environment will stress out the mommy....can't stand the smell? then shouldn't have bred them in the first place

sigh...
pls be prepared, dun wanna see this happen again
if u r not ready, dun house them together

hope u have learned ur lesson, 3 lives is gone becos of this

Out of curiosity, how much does a hedgehog cost nowadays?

it dpends. For home breeder around 180-200. Some petshop selling 300-400..

Omg, my bochai started drop quill, few day see 1 quill, is it got season for drop quill ?

My Bo Chai still same as can't stand and move properly, few step still ok, but he like to lay on something or fall down directly...

Bo Chai now also don't try to eat RC, he like mealworm.....

hmm..just wondering..what other brand of catfood can i feed a hedgehog with? instead of RC cuz its expensive ==

We always encourage people to feed high quality cat food such as RC, Inova Evo, Eagle Pack, California Natural and etc...

Other cheaper one such as Iams, Friskies.... i don think it is good for ur hedgie.

I'm currently using RC32, albiet a bit pricey...but it's recommended, even by the vet
I've tried Iams before, i tot it was really fattening, but it seems that RC32 is also as fattening as well....cos i see deposits of fats behind their legs...
but i've also read online that Iams is not good, that it causes fat tissue something something something...i forgot...so i switched
i believe we should give the best to our beloved pets, to provide the best for them as they only have us to take care of them

Jitshiong, i think u r saying liver fatty problem..

Some people said science plan and iams is good kibbles and good food for hedgehog... and some said it's bad...

But research carried out show feeding Iams causes serious liver problem in hedgie...

So, why do we wan to take the risk...right?

Currently I'm feeding RC36 for my hedgie, when should I start feeding RC32???

Actually what amount of mealworm should be fed to hedgehog?

When he is bout one year old i think can swap d...

But however, age is not really the only determinant for u to swap the diet.. The body size of ur hedgie too..If ur hedgie is too fat, avoid feeding high protein kibbles..change to lower one..

oo... okok.... her body now still consider fit.. haha..

how about mealworm?? is there any limit in feeding mealworm?

Feeding too much of mealies is not really good as it has high phosphorus...

Mayb twice a week, each time 6?

I give occassionally..
