How does talking affect to hedgie? mine bite and won't let go =[

which one do you mean?

"My hedgie allows me to pet him but he's quils are standing up"

or

"mine bite and won't let go"

my hedgie climbed out of his cage when i was asleep. He overturned the container of mealies and ate all of them (alive and dead). Will dead mealies affect them? ie. bring sickness or parasites.

some websites says hedgies eat them but some says dead mealies contain parasites. what should i do?

2 days later I heard my hedge's stomach rumbling. Is it Friskies or the mealies??

Where can i get royal canin in ipoh?

Also, do we need to feed oat to the meal worm everyday or just to gutload them? What is their food?

Also, I browsed though the internet and find out that mealworm bettle (darkling beetle) will give out some smell when they felt threaten. They also bite. So, is it safe for hedgehog to eat darkling beetle?

Does anyone know where to buy Royal Canin in Ipoh?

is it true that when we buy hedgehog we'll get the hedgehog birth cert?

Mine doesn't have. I hearsay from a friend that says that hedgehog have birth cert. Btw, what cause flaky skin apart from dry skin and mites?

My hedgie's poop has return to it's usual state. Is it ok for you to send me a picture of a healthy poop just to compare with mine?

Can you send me the link for the website/article regarding waterfeeding bottle please??

Can hedgehog take glider-cal as their calcium supplements when feeding with mealworm?

Is high quality dog food suitable for hedgehogs?

There is two black coloured hoglets here. 1 is salt and pepper and the other is (my assumption) silver (recesive of S&P)

As a hoglets the silver one will have lighter color compare to S&P right? one of the forum memeber said that it's a cinnamon. How can we distinguish them?? I've read the hedgehogclub website but is still confuse...

Here are some photos... enjoy!!!

According to the link above, there is such color (silver). The quills are greyish but not brownish. Are you sure it's a cinnamon?

What kind of infection did your hedgie got? internal parasite or external??

You can use Chipsi but not green apple as the scent is harmful to them. You can try Chipsi Classic or those which is unscented...

Whiskas is not good for hedgehogs or pets in general. It's a good thing if you know how to read the label


Whiskas Kitten Food
Chicken by-product meal, Corn Gluten meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Rice, animal fat (Preserved with bha/bht), Soybean meal, Natural Chicken flavour, Wheat Flour, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, dl-alpha Tocopherol Acetate [Source of Vitamin e], l-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate [Source of Vitamin c], Vitamin a Acetate, Niacin, Vitamin b12 Supplement, Riboflavin supplement [Vitamin b2], Thiamine Mononitrate [Vitamin b1], d-calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin d3 supplement, Biotin, Folic acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride [Vitamin b6]), Caramel colour, Potassium Chloride, Taurine, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Whitefish meal, Trace minerals (Zinc Sulphate, Copper Sulphate, Manganese Sulphate, Potassium Iodide), dl-Methionine, Marigold meal, Ethoxyquin (a preservative).


By product meal is not good. it's considered second class food. Gluten will harm the liver of hedgehogs (even humans who are gluten intolerant). Colouring is bad too.

Some pics to share since it's so quiet







by the way, how do i set the default size my photo? i'm using photobucket

Vet list

what's wrong with your hedgehog??

The best thing is to bring it to a vet checkup..

Isn't Revolution used to prevent and Ivermectin used to cure mites??

RC34 is recommended. I'm currently using Solid Gold..
