rm120 including 500g RC36 yayy.but i really hope he will not muntah muntah through out 3hours drive

I accidentally poked myself in the thumb with one of the baby's fallen quills today. That drew blood. Boo.

Chubster lost quite a bit of fur on her forehead.
I don't think it's a mite problem, just really dry skin.
I applied some oil on her forehead yesterday night because I noticed that it was reddish & had spots of blood. Today, small patches of the dried skin fell off with the fur on it. She looks like she has eyebrows now. Little white eyebrows, just above both eyes.

If you travel for long hours with a hedgehog, take frequent breaks if possible. Stop by at rest areas & check if it's okay. Cuddle a bit before continuing on.

Yellow stuff on the EARS? No.
The dried skin on Chub's forehead was yellow but that's because I applied oil on her skin.

Do the ears look tattered? If it does, you may have a mite problem.

picture added, any comments?

Hmm, doesn't look like dry skin to me. D:
If it's a dry skin problem, you will see little, white flakes of dead skin.

Since you're in JB & probably don't know any vets, try bathing your hedgie & see if the problem goes away?
Apply some oil & see if it can kill the fungal infection or something?
Might as well try any method that you know before visiting a vet.

thought so....dunno where he got that stuff on his ear, quilling stage summore, pity him.....

try bath your hedgie.. apply lil bit johnson babies oil to that area..

yes if dry skin problem theres got white stuff like dandruff..
bath your babies often.. brush their skin..
also can put lil oil on their skin..

no stain, VERY white and clean looking, and fatter, thats why i took back today i was very angry, i clean and clean cannot remove, used vinegar no use, and now its so dirty looking, and now thinner to me, it weighs 260grams, is it too light? and she's very small size.

There are no specific weights for hedgehogs because certain hedgehogs can weigh in at 400g while another could weigh in at 250g at the same age.

If her tummy & sides are sunken in, that means that she's not been getting enough nutrients.
Just give her a little more kibble than usual & see if she fattens up after a while.

Do not let that friend of yours take care of your pets anymore in the future.

If that stain doesn't seem to be bothering the hedgie, leave it alone.
You might be doing more harm trying to remove the stain if you keep bathing her since this will cause really dry skin.

I'm sure the stain will fade with time.

takda headset lah, plus headset no fun. =/ so i'll turn down the volume then.

Now i need to convince my parents to let me keep one. They think that having a hedgehog in the house will cause mites, cancer, respiratory problems etc etc.

thanks for replying, I appreciate it!
yes, it's sunken in, she's feeding on IAMS cat food, purple pack, but she doesnt wants to eat it, only if I feed her worms, she wants it. and yes, its sunken in, yeah, lesson learnt, never trust anyone with your lovely pet she close the lid halfway and went she came back, there's stain already, but it's BLACK, like so ugly =/

As long as the skin looks fine with no scabs or bleeding, leave the stain alone.
Change to Royal Canin 36 if possible because IAMS is of mediocre quality only.
Do not give her more than 8 worms a day because she's actually learning that if she doesn't eat kibble, you'll give her worms.

My Cottie's like that too... she's always huffing puffing when I try to take her out after she wakes up, startles easily, but once she is carried up and handled awhile she becomes okay and active.
I did give a piece of shirt with my scent too ^^;

I think if they get used to it , it should be fine. My house can get a little noisy at times with shouting, walking up stairs, running or movie sounds, so my hedgie definitely needs to get used to the surounding sounds, at first she does get startled easily, after 1-2 weeks, she is kinda used to it, and can even sleep when my mom is talking loudly around or someone runs past.

okays, but I wan her to be white again

aishhh... go take another albino.. hahaha..
wait la.. it will gone soon..
or your solution is....

hahaha, i know, i might use it
i was gonna mate her with my super fat male cinnamon, but i guess i'll let her grow fatter

my brain seized to function while attempting to catch up on posts in this thread ._x

i see clorox bottle!

Hey Arawin & Athen, i think theres no real problem in transporting ur hendgie as long as u do it the right way.. I have 2 hedgies and i travel from kl to penang once every 2 months with none of my hedgies showing signs of stress or vomitting..

TRANSPORTING YOUR HEDGIE :
Step 1: Use a small tank/box layered with some bedding (*hedgies like small spaces as they will feel more secure)

Step 2: Fill the tank with strips of newspaper to make it more snugly for ur hedgie

Step 3: Put ur hedgie in the tank with some of his fav kibbles to snack on & secure with lid

Step 4: Do make stops along the way to check on ur hedgie and offer him a drink from his water bottle (*don't hang the water bottle in the tank as water will leak
out & wet the bedding making the trip very uncomfortable for ur hedgie)
