Aha, you should put him down when you see his tail come up.

Just found out why there's poo & pee around the kitchen.
My mum suspects that a baby rat smelled Huffy's RC36 kibble & decided to sneak in through some crack or something. It's not possible for Huffy to push the playpen up because it's pretty heavy after I taped the open joint close.

It wasn't him pooping & peeing all over the kitchen after all.
T'was some darn rat. Hope the rat gets trapped soon.

LOL, I tried & failed. Hope it works for you!
No worries. They tend to eat & poo a lot more than usual for the first week or two when you get them.

I just finished making a stand for Cika's wheel. I use PVC pipe (3ft), 3 PVC pipe covers, 2 L joint, 1 T joint, metal saw, knife and iron solderer. I dont use any PVC adhesive or glue, all joints are tight enough and it is easy to change anything if it is not glued. The cost of the stand is not more than rm10.


The tutorial on how to made can be found here Chin Mania and Hedgehog World Forum (have to register first)

@telileti - .. i was worried that a tablespoon worth of food was too little xD


@shukri77 - you should be our resident handyman :P

ya, he should

Like I told you before, I free-feed my hedgies.
Chubster has a tiny double chin already.
She's at Day 20 now. Fifteen or so days to go till she gives birth if she's actually pregnant.
If she isn't, it's time for her to diet next month.
She's 380g already.
Holding Huffy is like holding a cotton ball next to Chubster's weight of a 'bowling ball'.

It is my hobby . My next future plan when Cika grows up is to make a bigger and longer box using coroplast. Coroplast is fun and cheap than plastic container. I think i can make a 2ft x 2ft box from coroplast which cost about RM12 ( i have to combined them using tape), if i installed wheel (about RM10). A 2ft container box cost about RM40-50.

i mean, she'd eat only about a tablespoon worth of food from the two tablespoon i'd leave at night :x

how's your hog doing shukri, is he more active now since moving him to your room?

Yes he is now more active in my room which is dark. Lucky I have made the wheel's stand, easy to take out and clean. Before this i fixed the wheel to the box.

380g.
I didn't measure Huffy's weight. He's probably around 150+?
He's really light compared to Chubster.

shukri, where do you get your coroplast from. a hardware shop or ..? i was thinking of using acrylic but those sheets do not come cheap.

i usually get 11" x 11" x 5pcs to make display cases which would cost around rm50 in materials (chloroform included) a 2' x 2' box.. and i'd have to use thicker sheets too.

Mydin at its stationary department (2.5ft x 2.5ft about RM6) and Kiang Trading stationary shop, they call it Infla Board.

The wirey boxy kind. He's fine, in tip top shape.

He's like a little strongman.

Cika...
