Looks like Huffy when he was 2 months old.
Yup, he should be around that age.

ARGH! Sho cute.

LOL, cardboard 'aquarium'.

If your hedgehog is quilling at the moment (do you find fallen quills in the cage with a ball at the end of the quill?), then that will explain the constant scratching & bumpy skin (those are quills trying to break through).

I don't potty-train my hedgies so I wouldn't know, sorry.

And hedgehog do that all the time. Run run run, freeze, sniff, run, jump off, sniff somemore. xD
It's not because they're bored, it's just how they are.
If you want to provide more 'mental stimulation' for your hedgie, you can bring it out from the cage & let it explore your living room/some hedgie-proof place.
If your hedgie runs under the cupboard, make sure you are able to retrieve it.


Ask shukri77. He's from JB & I think he mentioned that he got it from a pet shop in JB.
Do research before getting a hedgehog!

You can actually let the dog & hedgie 'mingle'.
Once your dog gets a nose full of needles, he/she'll know to avoid you hedgie. xD

I don't think all dogs are like your dog.
I see a number of videos on Youtube where they get along just fine.
Of course, a hedgie out of the cage should be supervised at all times.
I don't like the idea of hedgehogs living in their cage for all their life.
That's just sad.

Very cute.
Looks like it has freckles. xD

Baby hedgehogs began annointing on my hands today.

Hoglets are fine.
Spines are pretty tough & sharp already.
2 week & 2 days old as of today.

Little pinto likes to annoint on my hands.

True.

Huffy's been a lot nicer to me since I started spending a lot more time with him recently.
He sits in my lap while I watch TV nowadays. I think he likes being cuddled.

Plus, I've been bribing him after I pick him up everytime. I'm 'conditioning' his mind to think that getting picked up is good. Just like I've conditioned Chubster to associate the sound of me shaking the mealworm cup with getting treats. (She just gets up & run to the 'mealworm corner', it's hilarious)

The hoglets have all started annointing. They pretty much licked & bit all over my palms. Very sticky business.

And regarding the permit for 'exotic' animals, I finally got a reply from the respective department.

"Not all exotic pets need licence or special permit, only those that are listed under First and Second Schedule require licence or special permit to keep. Since African Pygmy Hedgehog are not listed under Act 716, thus African Pygmy Hedgehog need no licence or special permit to keep the animal."

LOL, superworms look too creepy to me so I don't buy them.
Not yet, still closed.
SHould open around 3 weeks or so.
Their 'snouts' have formed nicely though.

SHOVE IT IN HER MOUTH!

Lol, I kid. Tried rubbing the bug juices on her cute little snout yet? Maybe with a lick or two at her snout, she'll like it.

@ olivur : If you really REALLY want her to eat those bugs, crush 'em up & mix with the kibbles. xD You know, stick bits of crushed bugs to her kibble.
That's what I do with banana & Huffy's kibble.

@ ddr3 : Sounds like Huffy as well. Doesn't want to touch the beetle. Chubster doesn't care though. She'll eat anything & everything.
