ditto. lili just has 3 points she's interested in her playpen.

a. her hide box + blanky
b. her food + water bowl
c. her wheel + litter box


anything else is inconsequential ._x lol


i'd usually cuddle her at 8am ~ 10am and 5pm ~ 7pm while im watching tv or drawing or gaming and she'd sleep right up to 2am or so, get something to eat, walk around a little and jumps into her litter box to scratch around and run on her wheel till about 4am ~ 5am and back to her hide box ._o

but what if my hog doesnt even like mealworms ._x?

hmm, come to think of it i've never tried feeding her when i'm cuddling her. i'll try it out soon.

havent held her for a day or so now since i've been sick ._x

i mean, i guess you could still touch them if you soap up your hand prior and wear a flu mask? but i just dont wanna risk it.

and i read somewhere before that while not proven, there have been rumours where owners who have herpes kissed their hedgehogs and passed it on? rofl

like ken hinted, try inquiring the person you got your hoglet from what brand of kibbles was it fed previously. it probably just doesnt like the current kibbles. try to obtain the brand that it's used to and mix it with the new kibbles that you got and gradually decrease the ratio of the old kibbles. and hopefully your hoglet starts eating again

from what i've read, most would probably assume that it's just getting used to it's new environment, to make 100% sure that you counted the kibbles you put in and so and so.

but on a personal point of view i would've tried giving it mealworms, crickets, chicken bits or anything to see if it's just being picky before gunning to the vet.

and yeah.. i was kinda lost on the wheel part too, lol

amedion, check your pm. offer for free kibbles stands :P

pet store. nods* :)

lili's in the 1% that doesnt like mealworms



for now. i wont stop trying damnitallllllllkasdfghj!.

myeah, i'm kinda glad that she doesn't eat random bugs since i plan to take her out in the garden and let her do whatever soon

but on the other hand, i'm skeptical that she'd do anything much during daytime, especially when i'm "playing" with her. since it'll almost certainly end up like this -





and me ending up with a numb arm.

anything higher than a hogster scale of 7 in terms of movement and this'll happen -





and those eyes would be like

O_O O_O

sniff sniff sniff*

rustle rustle rustle*


and back to this -

lil was fidgety the first few times i had her in my hands. when she finally settled down when i cuddled her i was naturally pleased.

up to the point i felt something warm dripping through my arm / chest onto my toes. lol

.. i got the 2kg pack cause i wanted to be prepared.

little did i know she'd only eat 7~30 kibbles per day lol.

make sure hibari exercises more ._.! superworms have a higher fat content.

i only feed my cockatiel those like once a week to get him to behave when i mist spray him with water.

you should see this lizard called uh. "chao long" (grass dragon?) or something to that effect that my dad used to feed his shamas. shiny gecko's ._.

squirms*

i got this one from pet lovers centre in ss2 mall. i saw the exact same ones in plc @ ikano as well recently ._.

the price should be 85.20 and i think telileti uses the same one as well.




edit*

you could get it online here but check out the crazy mark up price xD

@mav_850 - you could try rearing them, but the level of difficulty made me quit halfway when i tried it (i can't stand the dried puke stench they give off)

if you're interested, this site has some good info :)


@telileti - hows chubs doing ._o?

grats telileti !

now try and resist the temptation of peeking too frequently xD

shukri actually explained on how to make one a few pages back ._.

this might be too soon to ask but what dya plan on doing with your hoglets telileti :P

you could prolly keep the female with chubs since females in general are less territorial as they grow up.

i mean i know hogs are said to be solitary animals but how they grow up plays an important role as well imo.

but keeping males together .. mmmyeah :P


ninja edit*

dibs on male pinto. lol
