My female hedgie has a sickly cheap perfume smell.
Huffster, my oldest male hedgie never smelled bad a month ago but he recently started smelling really bad, especially after he gets all horny. Ick.
I suspect it's the smell of his musk.

Pinto (the younger male) still smells okay, even after he gets horny.

Maybe their musky smell is stronger as they grow older?

EDIT: According to this site, hedgehog's don't have musk or scent glands.  I wonder where that funky smell comes from...

Guys - just a quick question.

If a hedge scratches does that mean guarantee got mites ? My SnP (Just got like 1 week ago) scratches occasionally.

I mean not like accessive scratching - just like the normal occasional scratching - not extended scratching just normal brief ones.

Is this behavior normal ?

heres my girl sunseed hog food made her poo a lot and become very fit

haha she definitely is XDD

look at her

ken.b - yes !! then she was not eating for 2 days ..200 mealworms     her snack for almost a month

gaianeo - after she dont eat for 2 days she start eating back her hedgehog food, otherwise she just stay hungry la    cannot spoiled her 

devilene - now karma hits her back, she become super duper smelly..hmmm...i wonder why

Hey guys - how much do you feed yr hedgies ? I feed mind a mix of the kitten food pallets and mealworms.

I have a small food bowl (around 2.5 inches diameter) - I fill it till the base is 80% full and top that with about 6 to 8 mealworms every night. By morning it's empty so before I go to work I top it up with a little kitten food (around 4 or 5 pellets)

Is this sufficient? Am I over / under feeding? Do let me know. Thanks.

^ He is 12 weeks old.

^ Well he is not fat.. yet haha - I will get a latest pic and upload soon.

^ love to sleep whole day!!! Even when I bring him out daily he will just chill out, doesn't really walk around.
