u can, jus cut then connect using pipe tube that people use for plumbering. Make sure the edge is not sharp so wont hurt ur hedgehog.

izzit difficult to take care? feel like having 1...will they bite?

previously took care of hamster's b4....

if didnt bite how come they eat... hahaaha^^..

i been bite by my hedgehog twice since 5 month i keep it... dunno y he bite..
but no la so pain as been bite by sugar glider.. hahaha(i mean adult one)

Hey guys, which bedding did you all find best suits hedgies? Back 2 Nature or Breeder Celect?
And did you DIY the housing for hedgie? Living World Dome is a lil too big and takes up alot of space.

Thanks.

both suit if im not wrong.... i use big plastic pipe as housing.. so far my casper love it.. dunno la if his taste change n wan bungalow in his cage.. hahaha^^

Kenken so cute...tml i'm going to get myself a hoglet edi...been waiting for 1 week...will named him as JimJim... XD

I prefer to use Back2Nature, because it's softer. Breeder Celect is bit hard... Don forget ur hedgie step on it with bare foot..

U can use the Living World Snap In as the hidehouse..nice to see and not as big as dome..

I hope u hav prepared everything.

Hi... i just got my hedgehog...
Its very nice... and the quills are so damn soft.... i thought it would hurt...
now its sleeping in the square house..
i name it Mr.Gaga lol...

just got my JimJim back just now...he's kinda active...when on the way home he keep wan to climb out from the box i used to bring him home...can't stay still... XD
Now i put him inside the storage box i prepared for him...n he's hiding inside the shoe box sleeping now...he hissed me when i wan to take him out just now...

Heh. I think they'll be satisfied as long as the house is dark enough and not too small. My hedgie doesnt like his living world dome cos it's too big and not dark enough. =S

Alright. I'm kinda surprised Pets Wonderland doesnt sell Back 2 Nature and most of the hedgie's essentials. -__-

Anyw, thanks guys.

My little boy JimJim...just got him today from a breeder...he's very active and can't stay still...like to explore explore... XD

I think my hedgie has caught on some mites...
i used a wet tissue paper to wipe the back of him ear and found some really extremely small thing moving... i dont know if its mites...
but i know that it keeps scratching when in its igloo ...
when i take it off he stops scratching...
Should i bring him to the vet now??

Edit: Nvm its mites... trying to fix it now

is it ok if i put few drops of baby oil into the water when i bathing my hedgehog if his skin is dry??or maybe add some baby oil into water bottle spray to spray in his skin to prevent dry skin??

yes, u can put few drop of olive oil or baby oil when showering him.

Don hav to spray in the skin la...

Hey... anyone here tried frontline spray for mites on thier hedgehog be4?? was it succesfull?? cause if like 80% chance then i bring to the vet better...

thanks...

Send for vet check, then also spray the frontline if is mites. So guarantee everything gone.

Since u jus got ur hedgie, is good to send for first time medical check up.

Hmm... how much would the vet check cost around...
Here is one photo... but not so clear if has mites anot...
the most mites at the back of its ear running

less than 50, depend on wat disease. no worry, dr jenny is the most reasonable charging vet in kl area.

actually we hardly can see mites moving by using raw eyes..so better still send for vet check.
