getting her a new pet...

I would like to warn all hedgehog owners out there about feeding their hedgehogs large-sized kibbles.

I feed Chubster Royal Canin Fit 32 + Royal Canin Kitten 36.

+

I was giving her treats yesterday when I noticed she was 'coughing' repeatedly. I had a feeling that she was choking on something because I've read about it on a hedgehog forum about the risk of hedgehogs choking before.

I was just about to go help her out when she finally coughed up what she had been choking on, which was a RC32 kibble.

I thought it was small & safe enough for her to eat without choking.
Apparently not.

Read up on how to help your hedgie on this page so you'll be prepared in case it happens to you.

When I fed her this morning, I manually broke each kibble in half, one by one, so she won't have to go through that experience again.

just out of curiosity, when your hog eats her kibbles, does she chew on it ._.?

mine actually chews on each kibble before swallowing (i could tell when she's eating cause it's usually noisy as she crunches down on each kibble)

Yes, she does.
I think she tried to crunch down on this one but accidentally swallowed it.

ouch, must've been scary ._.

also if you take your hogs out onto the garden or lawn, be careful on what they're sniffing on.

once i thought lil was just chewing on grass to annoint herself as usual up to a point i heard crunching sounds? she was gnawing on a pebble -_-

Apparently my little Hibari has car sick/motion sickness and will vomit.

I brought Hibari to school today and she vomited in the box D;. And soon , everyone wanted to have a hedgehog as a pet~

"AWW SHE SO CUTE"

Even my scary Bm teacher also said she cute

It was. I had a mini heart attack right there and then. Phew!
I don't have a garden.
Poor girl. Did she chip a tooth? D:

Wow, you could bring your pets to school?
I got Chubster from him because he didn't want her anymore after he bred her.
I think your little Hibari is Chubster's kid. Lol.

She refuses to exercise? Hmm, try cutting down on the food that you give her then. 2 tbsp of food would do.

Chubs didn't choke on the star-shaped one. She choked on the round, flat one.

RC36 is very small so I don't think she can choke on that one.

Today news:
Licences a must soon for all who keep exotic animals
1 hedgehog 1 licence?
How true is it?!!

I read that on the front page of The Star this morning.

I'm planning on going to a pet store that sells hedgehogs soon & ask if they need permit or not.

http://www.wildlife.gov.my/

somebody please ask about the license here...

Will it be very complicated to apply for license or juz submit a paper then your part is finished?

Does it matter though?
As long as you get to keep your pet at the end of the day, the amount of money & time you have to put into getting that permit would be worth it, don't you think?

I just hope they don't say that hedgehogs are illegal in Malaysia like it is in Singapore.

Added on August 11, 2011, 8:09 pmI caught videos of the hoglets annointing in the nest. I didn't know they start annointing so young.

No i could not bring pet to school , my dicipline teacher was like what is a hedgehog? coz my friend was asking me about my hedgie and i said , this!! -flips open box-

Teacher : OMG SO CUTE... I WANNA RAMPAS...ARGHH.. Neverind , later u can put ur hedgehog in Pn . Jaya air-cond room if you want. Your hedgehog will love air cond.

SMK Desa Perdana.

Anyways , Hedgehog are NOT exotic animals, there is no need for license.
Tomorrow bringing Kitten to school tomorrow hehe. Apparently cat downstair gave birth , has kittens , asked my scary BM teacher and she said she wanted one! Yay.

telileti - i certainly hope not ._. i heard the gnawing sound once and i quickly bolted towards her and picked her up and tickled her lower jaw so she'd let go of the pebble. she seems to be chewing fine so i hope no damage was done :s

ix3rukia - get, a wheel!


ninja edit*

also, if perhilitan is as troublesome and incompetent as sirim, we're in a LOT of fun if we've to register our hogs.
