apparently it could affect both. but from what i've found out so far it's only mealworms currently. they were still selling superworms in individual packagings (live ones, in perforated plastic casings or tupperwares, rather)

Ah...
I bought my mealworms a few weeks ago & only fed them calcium powder & yeast till today. Too much work to feed them oats because of the clean-up after a week. They're miraculously still alive.
They shouldn't have the disease since they're still alive, I guess.

yup. i'm kinda glad lil wouldn't eat the last batch i tried feeding her in a way.

speaking of lil, snapped a few photos of her when she was playing around the lawn earlier ..which roughly translates to munching dirt and annointing herself ._o

olivur - her ears r special, nt round 1 =)

and she's thin and fit. not like my fat hibari last time haha

Hello :3 is anyone know what is the most suitable food for baby hedgie? sorry i am a newbie hehe just need to collect more information before get the baby >:) and how often should we give them mealworm? thanks!

ddr3 - yeah, she has bat ears :P

ix3rukia - because she doesn't eat much. 20-30 kibbles per day tops. and nothing else.

icechocolate - rc34 or rc36. the former has a higher fat content than the latter, but if you're planning on feeding your hoglet mealworms (maximum of 3 per day), rc36 would do since mealworms provides the needed fat :)

nice albino olivur...

fat? im feeding one of my skinny hedgehog with superworm until she dunwan.. (around 12tails maybe..) still not getting fat! how come?
my male hog getting bigger without superworm too hahaha...

she's not an albino, look at her quills ..even though her eyes are really dark red.

just a few questions

are hedgehogs good pets, as in are they sociable and do they let you play around with them?

and

I have cats, would they attack my future hedgie?

thanks hehe

ahh i see! Thanks for the info D

inbetweeners> I'm also pretty new with Hedgehog (just got mine few weeks ago) and so far mine has been a really good girl, just that for now she rather spend her time in her box and sleeping thn coming out to play (she only comes out to eat and drink) that could be coz she's still pretty young (1 month +)

If I'm not wrong its up to how you treat em, if you always do something that scare them they will end up as bad tempered hedgie that rather spend its time alone and always on defensive mode, but if you get em to trust you they will be like little angels (aka spikes down) and may even be delighted to see you (tho they can still be a bit moody when you wake em up)

Don't take my word for it tho, see what the others say, different hedgie+ different owner= different experience =D

and about cats, my bf has cats too and i sometimes bring my girl to his house. Its best to keep the hedgie away from the cats, especially if its still getting used to the environment and in progress of bonding with you. The cats might cause pressure and nervousness to the new hedgie. But today I let my cat (which stays with my bf) meet my girl and my cat was more afraid of my girl than the other way around XD My cat did try to touch her, but of course the spikes stopped her from doing anything more thn that

Olivur> omg, so cute! due to the ears she looks like a piglet with quills! /melts I can't take nice pics like that coz my camera's shutter speed is too slow for a fast moving hedgie OTL

she does, doesn't she

btw, did you manage to get the wheel?

No note yet, wanted to get the Wobust Wodent Wheel, but that cost like rm160 X.x in other countries it cost only around rm 70++ but thn the shipping is more expensive thn the wheel itself so its still around the same price Orz

yeah, i actually got a wodent wheel but sold it to a friend who keeps sugar gliders and went back to her old wheel.

i didn't like how sometimes the opening of the wheel would brush against lil's nose as she sticks her head out when she's about to stop.

Oh, so wodent wheel is not recommended? I only decided to buy that because it was approved by SPCA so i take that as one of the best

I personally wouldn't recommend it. but as you could see from reviews all over it's the best :P

which one do you recommend? coz i'm worried Nephtie will out grow the wheel as i heard some hedgies can grow pretty large, and mine seems big for a 1 month-er D:

the biggest that the wodent wheel comes in is pretty much the same size as the one i'm currently using, which is 12" ..or was it 11"..but yeah, i reverted back to the first wheel i got for lil (the same one telileti is using) which i got from pet lover's centre for around rm85? or along that line :P

i prefer that one as i find it easier to clean. that and the said issue where i saw lil getting nose brushed by the "pillars" which is formed from the cut out of the entrance of the wheel.



codicil*

good god the one i'm using has way more cons! lol.
