Y u don try to give ur hedgehog waterfeeding bottle?

Then u hav to change the newspaper every two or three days. I think hedgehog is much more easier to take care compare to glider.

I heard some of the owner said that "black wood" causes cat's poop smelly but not sure for hedgehog. I think heggie will like it as long as the cat food is CHICKEN flavor compare to FISH flavor. I had prove it when I feed my heggie with IAMS, they eat like pig, but when I switch to Whiskas tuna flavor, they only consume few kibble at one time.

I know most of the cat food sell in supermarket like Purina, Whiskas, Friskies are not suitable for hedgehog. So far I know Royal Canin is the most recommended brand among the hedgehog owner.

Previously one of my female hedgehog also got mites. Then I try to bath and soak it with warm water and j&j baby shampoo together with brushing its back using soft toothbrush. Amazingly after few time of bathing she is free from mites.

Hi, of course I remember u, the pink shirt lady ! Finally u got ur own ID in lyn ! I'm glad that my baby meet a loving and caring buyer. Just wonder if you toilet train him or else he will poops on ur bed

Hmm... In fact when those babies were born, he is the "BLACKest" one so I think he is definitely S&P... I really unexpected that he will getting lighter in color after quilling... However I hope u will still love him... Btw, regarding ur avatar, is that your hand holding him? Very nice avatar with RED nails and creamy S&P holding in your hands Do you manage to find the catfood for him?

Haha, hope ur bf won't envy of ur hedgie . I think Royal Canin is better than IAMS bcoz in term of price, RC is more pricey. Think may shift to Royal Canin after my hedgie finished their IAMS.

I think my female hedgie is pregnant again coz her pee poop start to become so Arrrgggg smelly. Haha, just a tips for u, when a female hedgie is pregnant, first thing u would hav notice is her pee poop will become EXTREMELY SMELLY no matter what u feed her. Secondly her body size would "EXPAND" and she would consume large amount of food than usual 3-4 days b4 her due date.

Ha ha, thanks for that. If I success to get the hoglets I'll inform u n let u choose among the hoglets. It's actually not that easy have all of them survive until the weaning stage. My 1st time breed albino male with albino female, 3 of the hoglets die in one week and the albino mother die one month after due to internal infection.

After one year, I got the S&P female from a breeder and pair with the albino male. She give me 5 hoglets and all of them able to make it to the weaning stage . Thank god the female S&P is a caring mother.

Hav u try to feed him cricket? It would be fun to see ur hedgie chase around the cricket and chew on them. BTW i hav seen the video on youtube where they feed pinkies to hedgehog. Arrgggg damn disgusting... Let me know if u do feed them with pinkies.

Wow! Amazing! U did try on quail's egg & cooked chicken meat ! I think each of hedgie has its own personality on food. My female S&P never like cricket but male Albino like it very much. I think my male Albino is actually a tiger not a hedgehog...coz he hari-hari mau . Damn "hamsap". Salt&Pepper, try to search on youtube, there is one video showing hedgie eat cilantro.

To niclav, never ever put them in the same cage! They are SOLITARY animal! U r gonna stress them out! Try to bath them warm water with johnson&johnson baby shampoo and use a SOFT toothbrush and gently brush on their back, back ear and forehead spike. At the same time, clean and rub their belly fur. When I got the female S&P from a breeder, I can tell u she is 10x flakier than urs. I can even see the flake drop off while she's walking. But now, she is free from mite. Take care of their environment is the best way to prevent mite.

To Ken.B, I was wondering if hedgie able to consume Dubias coz they r HUGE like cockrouch.

Lastly, My female S&P give born for 5 little hoglet on 19/04/2011 !

I only got 1 pair of hedgehog lah . Hmm... I think better not to disturb the mother b4 2 weeks for the sake of hoglets safety. Be patient, I will post the picture here after a week or two depends on the mother's mood.

I think it will depends on the quality of catfood. If u took Whiskas or Friskies as their staple food then that is a big NO NO . Most hedgehog owner recommend Royal Canin Kitten. I do test on my hedgie, I buy a small pack of Friskies and mix with IAMS Kitten, my hedgie will consume on IAMS Kitten and left only Friskies...

For 8 in 1 Ultra- Blend Diet... I'm not sure about the brand but one petshop in Petaling Street KL do sell hedgehog food. Imported from USA. This Saturday I may go there, will let u know the shop name.

Congrats to Niclav to become SPIKEY'S OWNER ! Niclav seems so active on this forum.

Hmm... the packing looks familiar. The petshop owner told me that hedgehog food is lower in protein and that's to prevent them being obese. Cat food is high in protein and if ur hedgie dun get enough exercise it will become obese. I usually let my hedgie free run in living room at night. Last time I do hav wheel (u can refer to my trade post) but I sold it coz my hedgie like to poop in wheel while running.

Ha ha, PetShack do sell 8 in 1 Ultra-Blend Diet - for Hedgehogs 22oz for RM25.00

It's Sunway. U better call to confirm whether they hav stock b4 u go there

Curious about mealworm market price... Over Klang petshop sell RM10 for 100pcs of mealworm.

I dunno wat to call that but it's BIG mealworm not the small size mealworm .

Wah... u all no need to sleep one izzit Posting at 3am... 6am... Too bad I dun hav connection at home or else I could hav join the conversation.

Niclav, as I said b4, each of hedgie hav their own personality, I did try apple for my previous batch hoglets, only few shows interested with apple. 1 of it is with Salt&Pepper now. So Salt&Pepper u may try a small slice of apple for ur hedgie.

That's superworm! Feeding 2 pcs of superworm isn't enuf, I would just let them hav it until they're full.

Niclav, izzit same sex or diff. sex of ur pair of hedgie?

Everytime b4 I bath them, I love to bring my hedgie to the field and let them walk around and they normally will self-anointing till whole their body get dirty.

Dun worry, they are smart enuf to differentiate soap water and drinking water. But no every hedgie love to bath.
