im interested with hedgehog..bored with my hamster

1) can i know about hedgehog cage?better with picture
2) hedgehog diet?they eat veggie or fruit ?
3) im currently a student..can i travel with hedgehog on the bus?

If you could get bored with your hamster, there's a chance you'll get bored with a hedgehog one day.

Hedgehog cages should be bigger than 2 feet x 1 feet. That's the minimum space that one hedgehog can have.

They eat dry, good quality cat food. I would suggest Royal Canin 32 or Royal Canin Kitten 36 (for hedgies less than 6 months). This would be considerably more costly than hamster food. I paid RM90-ish for a 4kg bag of RC32 a few days ago. A few mealworms or crickets can be given once every week or so as treats.

Hedgehogs do not like travelling long distances. If the travelling takes less than 1.5 hours, it's okay. Just put him/her in a shoe box (with ventilation holes & plenty of tissue paper/cloth inside). If it's more than 2 hours, I'd suggest you find a place for your hedgie to stay & be taken care of while you're away.

For more information, visit this website: http://www.freewebs.com/thehedgieden/hedgehogcare.htm

It's really helpful and will tell you almost everything a good hedgie owner should know.

Hissing is normal behaviour for a hedgehog that feels unsafe. He doesn't know your smell yet so he will hiss.

Before I got a hedgehog, all my research told me NEVER to buy a hedgehog that clicks at me. However, I find that to be rather untrue because even my nicest hedgie clicks at me when I scare her accidentally.

This is what huffing and clicking sounds like. Not very good sound quality though but you'll recognise it in real life if you hear it.

How to choose a hedgehog? Make sure they're healthy, walks normally and their eyes are clear? Buy them from reputable breeders.

ic...hissing sound kinda freaking me out but i try learn to used to it...
can advise me on how to setup a cage(home?) for hedgie...
dun wan to stress up this little thing...

You're supposed to prepare everything BEFORE you bring your hedgehog home.
You're subjecting him to unnecessary stress because you just brought him into a new environment (the paper box in your house) and you're going to take him out of that environment again soon into the new cage. That's just unnecessary stress to the hedgehog.

Please try to do more research on your own.

You can use a large Toyogo box, the one with six wheels. Also, buy an 11 inch wheel from Pet Lovers Center so he can get his exercise at night.

who u bought from? 3 weeks or 3 month? coz 3 weeks still drinking milk lei d baby hedgie

No lah, already stated can eat and drink so I think 3 weeks could it means 3 weeks after weaning

sorry he is 2 months+ old...lol

Haha, scared me pictures where? Heheehehehehehe

actually my paper box is quite big...but just not every nice looking...haha
so wan to move him into a better house asap before he really settle down.

hahah, mine now is not with me, he is now at my hometown, miss him so much, should go back see him but i did not put the water bowl and spoon together with him, oni put the spoon and water bowl in every morning and nite and watch him eat and drink. before this will bring him out to the garden to poop and pee, he is such a gd boy, din pee in his house oni pee and poo at the garden.
how much the toyogo box ah? i think its around RM20-30.

though 1 year ald but he will also hiss sometimes when i woke him up suddenly or touch his right ear and pet his head, sometimes thats just their personality, mie dun like ppl pet his head and right ear

Large six-wheeled Toyogo box went for around RM40 the last time I checked at Tesco. A bit expensive but definitely cheaper & easier to clean than most cages.

If you want to save money, no need to buy feeding bowls. Just find something that resembles a bowl at home. I use the ceramic 'bowl' that people use to put in ketchup/soy sauce.

u mean sauce plate izzit?normally plastic one rite?
ic ic~~seems like tonight have to go kepong tesco already...
and steal from kitchen some plastic "sauce plate"...
btw,wat u use a bedding for the toyogo box?
