food for your hedgie
CHEAP!!!

you can try mixing it with the hedgehog mix like I do..normally 1KG will last you 3-4 months.

meal worm give occasionally whereas RC32 (Royal Canine 32) is like staple food.

meal worm say about 3-4 every 3-4 days. Hedgehogs are carnivorous so they do not actually eat fruits. But some hedgies do actually eat fruits. Mine just sniffs it and walks away. One way of getting fruits to the hedgie's system is but gutloading your mealworms with fruits prior to feeding it to the hedgehog.

Guys,
I have been trying hard to try and trim my hedgie's nails. Tried once ithe fella starts to bleed... Now phobia already. Any place i can take the fella for a manicure? or mebbe eric can do for me...hehehe...i blanja makan...

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

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?

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

you come and pay or you come and see?

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

Normally I think hedgies berak when they run...same thing for my hedgie as well...so called toilet trained la...but on the wheel sure got berak one...

aaron,
Hedgie is quite a picky eater actually. Most probably, he/she is not familiar still with the surroundings. What did the previous owner feed him/her? Try getting the same type and mix a portion of RC to slowly change his/her diet. If not you can wait it out like what I did last time until the fella had no choice but to eat what I give. Too hungry de... Haha...

They are initially soft and dries up becoming hard. Similar to rat's poo. And yeah, they are OK under air-con. Mine is...
Try not to put them under tooc old situations for a long period of time (a few days). They might hibernate... That's what I read anyway.

naruto oh naruto... I know you just got your hedgehog ler...we are all here to learn. dun just go on advising people on things you are not sure of.

Added on December 17, 2009, 5:27 pm \Try scooping up a bit of bedding when yo wanna take the hedgehog out. this way, you won't get stung. Another reason is that, he/she is not used to your smell. Try putting your worn tshirt into the cage to get him used to your smell.

yeah...the bedding works as a layer between your hand and the hedgie. after he/she unfurls herself in your hands...you can remove the bedding slowly..do it a few more times and you can just scoop him/her up at ease

sneezing? hmmm...you mean hissing is it? they do that when they feel threatened...it's not sneezing..even though it sounds like it

can you take a picture if this white flake which you claim to smash with blood ar?

your one still can pick up ar? Mine totally poos on the wheel and steps all over the wheel...
