Nephthys scratches a lot too O_O but I couldn't find any mites and the quills that drops off has the cuticle... I hope she's fine, i bath her weekly too (some times more if she dirties herself)

Nephthys trust me more now (HURRAH!!) Bribing with worms does help a ton XD Her spikes are almost never up =D

After watching pets 101...

NO WONDER SHE'S NOT AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! her quills are shock absorbers!

Yea i think its best to go to the vet too, the vets recommended for exotic pets listed on the vet thread D:

Brought Nephthys out to the park again, this time she ran around a bit but still end up trying to blend into the grass as a round cushion of spikes after a while.. not much exercise from there. But i did caught her a few times running the wheel outside her cage, thought when she sees me she'll stop and hurry back into her cage ~_~

Do they eat ants? O_o

Welcome Yang5209 =D and congratz on your new Hedgie!

Turns out my college has many hedgie parents (including lecturers) O: never knew this until i got my girl.

Nephthys love the new wheel! but yeah.. she poops and pee a lot on it that she needs more baths... and its amusing to find a big poop ball in the wheel this morning XD I think its a combination of around 5 to 6 big poop and it was a perfect round ball shape XD it must be rolling with Nephthys as she runs the wheel

and yay, many many beetles now, can't wait to see new baby mealworms <3

I also first time see the mealworms my hair all stand up, now i see my mealworms become beetles i sayang them like my hedgie XD they're not gonna live long anyways, might as well take good care of em till they breed more hedgie treats

So its up to you how much you love your hedgie <3 I see Nephthys so happy munching on the worm i also start to expend like balloon

Haha everyone's baby is so cute XD Mine has already warmed up to me (especially if i have mealworm with me) though she is still bad tempered if someone disturb her in her sleep. But somehow i still prefer her when she's defensive (the curl in a ball of spikes is ADORABLE) now she hardly ever curls in a ball more thn 2 sec D:

Oh and for cage I use normal cat cage but I have to use fleece for the floor so their legs dont fall through. and mind you even with the cage door close she can escape through the bars somehow so i rather leave the door open so she dont try it again X_x I just close the toilet door so she can come out whenever she wants

What's infected quills? D:

and for mealworms at PJ area, ss14's aquarium shop sells em too, there's where i got mine =D

And what dog food is best for hedgies? I wanna provide more varieties to Nephthys just so she won't go bored eating the same cat food everyday D:

Gonna share a picture of Nephthys' home, I keep the cage door open 24/7 so she can run the wheel and exercise anytime. Now she only poops on the wheel and in her pooping pan that i don't have to change her bedding so often anymore



if you enlarge the pic you can see Nephthys sleeping near her poopee pan XD

Hedgie gathering *_*

Other thn RC32 any other brand that is good? or dog food that's good? Wanna give my hedgie a change of diet and taste, poor girl eating the same thing for so long

@Rexeren> thanks! I shall check out on that =D

For natural balance which one is suitable tho?

Ah icic thanks for the info! I shall try Go Natural next thn.

I don't mind buying expensive food for my girl, since its still much cheaper than feeding a human XD Hedgie's good food everyday = human eat roti canai everyday \o/

I gave mine 1 mealworm daily to keep the bond or to lure her out from wherever she is. Superworm is scary X_x Boiled eggs... hmm.. i shall try it soon. thanks!

oh wow, every Hedgie in the world is jelly of your Hedgie now XD 200 mealworms a night X_x

Hey there, I haven't been posting for a while, was so busy with college

So hey, this is a recent photo of Nephthys. She's gotten... kinda huge despite only being 3 months old.. I hope she's not obese or anything since she exercise daily, running the wheel all night thn running around my room when I'm busy with work. She just crossed my feet , she's not scared of me anymore, she even ignore me and do her own business when i walk pass her doing my own stuff.

Attached thumbnail(s)

My room is pretty messy too (student life no time clean) XD But nothing tht would be harmful for a hedgie, and since she knows how to get back to her cage i let her roam around.

Sueannee> omg so cute! reminds me of snow white *_* And yea, mine don't like hedgehog food or fruit treats too, it ignored all of those and only eat the catfood. Tho she did eat a bit of those yogurt drops O: I've been letting her try many types of food and treats to see which she prefer.. cat food + mealworms/puppa/beetles still on the top of her list

ddr3>Maybe D: coz my friend's one who is 1 month older thn mine and is male also pretty small sized O_O

gaianeo> I hope not D:

Mine bled once too and she's also female. I saw blood foot prints around but no blood on her body so i didnt know where it came from O:

Best place to buy fleece.. Daiso XD just the right size, warm, pretty designs and..rm5

darn, i'm promoting for Daiso again, they should really pay me >:

Edit> there's one daiso in Sunway Pyramid just in case some doesn't know. There's where i buy my girl's fleece and weeweepad
