if ur hedgie toilet trained, once in month also o.k... just change the poo place jer la...

Hi, If you just going back to sarawak for holiday, than there is no need for you to bring your hedgehog. But if you wan to bring them back because u have finish your study, than you should try this:

1st: U need to call Sarawak Jabatan Hidupan Liar to see weather Hedgehog (give them the Scientific name) is in the banned list. If they say no. Its mean u can bring them back.

2nd, Call Jabatan Perhilitan at KL to ask the same thing. And ask them the Procedure to get a Permit for Exotic Animals.

4th. After you got all the detail, Than you can got Dr.Jenny there to get a health report. A letter/report is acceptable by the Jabatan Haiwan as long it's indicate that your animal is Free from any virus.

5th. After you got the report, you bring/Fax/email the health report and Permit of Exotic Animal to Sarawak to make Permit for Sarawak again. This time you got 2 permit to make, 1 is from the Jabatan Hidupan Liar (dunno what they call in Sarawak) and 1 is Permit Import from Jabatan Haiwan.

6th. After you got both Permit from Sarawak, Bring/fax/email them to KL again and go to Jabata Haiwan at Shah Alam or Cheras with your health report to make a Health Certificate and Permit Export.

7th. Finally after you got all the Documents, You can bring them to Mas Cargo and send them back.

P/s: Since it's a Exotic Animal, quarantine is required. Only Small animals like Hamster, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits don't require Quarantine.

Good info.

But how do they define it as small animals? A hedgehog is far smaller than most breeds of rabbits and some isn't some rare breed guinea pigs and rabbits considered exotic?

thanks for your info.... i thought hedgie no nid quarantine due to its small size.... i am worried with the quarantine area... i heard sme stories told about how their cats die in a horrible way due to different kind of bacteria in their bodies...

zzzz... if i quarantine my hedgie there then yes it is free of rabies... but then ??? free of rabies but spare me some deadly bacteria ??

This is MALAYSIA.... quarantine supposed to be the cleaniest place.. but some ppl pets end up dying with stomach bursting due to the bacteria they being infected.... 1MALAYSIA...

I suggest you do not. Your pet will only stress out and stressing out is bad.

And stressing out for pets may induce death. Most animals can't take stress well.

then how you guys handle with ur pets when you are outting or back to hometown during holiday ?? ask ur fren to help taking care ??

my hometown is near. So max i go back for 3days, i will leave sufficient water and food for kenken..

But if you go back for 1-2weeks, u better get someone to take care for u.

Most of us stay with families or roommates, so not a problem. Can ask friend also. But he/she has to be really reliable la

Omg my hedgehog Seriously bit me till bleed a little = ( , i been having it for 7 months and nvr have sigh of biting rough = = usually it bite lightly but today it used full force to Bite my hand ~.~ no idea whats happening

some possibilities:

1) you haven't been bonding with it for quite some time and it couldn't recognize your smell. some hedgehogs have bad tempers to start with and will mellow down after frequent bonding. but if it's being ignored for some significant duration, then the hedgehog will revert back to its former defensive self.

2) you've handled some food which smells like it can take a good bite.

For people who are going for this event

o00o so is that fine la leave kible to them around 2-3 days... o0o0 if can like that good la...

Hello everyone Every time I come here also post some question or anything happen on my hedgehog Sorry for that, but just want to share for it.
Sometime we can heard hedgehog make sound like "Jiab Jiab Jiab", he look like want to eat something or taste something like that, but be careful of it.
My Bo Chai now is in Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. mean he can't move around by own, last time I see he front left leg getting hurt, I though it was hurt by the wood bedding ( nothing will be sharp, just the bedding ), after I cover the cloth, my Bo Chai front left leg still getting hurt although it getting fully recover. Then I feel strange why it like that.
Then 1 time I heard the Bo Chai make " Jiab Jiab Jiab" sound again, but this time feel like juicy sound then I go see what he doing..... Oh man Bo Chai chewing his own leg until blood coming out..... he put his leg ( whole palm area ) any just chewing there...
No wonder his leg recover so slow, so next time heard the "Jiab Jiab Jiab" sound just notice his leg or any place is it getting hurt.
Now really don't know how to stop him chewing again, make be DIY those cover use by sicked dog or cat that anti them bite themselves or scratch their own face.... but feel like can't wear it lol, hedgehog head is sharp.....
Any idea for that

wanna know whether the hamster exercise ball can be use for hedgie??those whole ball can roll everywhere 1...

That 'jiab jiab jiab' sound that u hear is actually the sound of them chewing things, it can be anything from food, bugs to their own leg as well!
ur Bo Chai is self mutilating, he's probably in pain...
poor thing, i do not know how to make the collar for hedgehogs...any advise from the vet?

No early I take for check Bo Chai body, because it go a ..."meat ball" on the body and confirm is cancer... T_T
Then I also let Dr Jenny check the leg, Dr Jenny told me that it will bite own leg, so I start notice from that day and I see it really bite on it....
I start figure out and try make a collar out. Hope get help on it.

my god. WHS.. it's a nightmare for the hedgehog and owner. so sorry to hear that vincent. Be strong ya~

Collar for hedgehog... erm...is ur hedgehog big ear hedgie? if big, mayb can slot the collar behind the big ear...i think there is a small gap between the ear and quills...

Not advisable. They don feel comfortable inside... very hard to get hamster ball that big enough for hedgie though..

Haha I'm strong enough after Bo Chai having WHS problem, now just watch the cancer getting bigger.....
No matter how is it also let him life until when he want.
Hmm I also feel collar not work because hedgehog head is sharp to nose there . <" ) ).. <<--- I don't know what I drawing lol.
Anywhere thanks for greeting, just want to share about the "jiab jiab" sound
