@ddr3: She used her nose muzzle to knock down the detachable walls, did it for 3 days... and then i noticed she had a bump on the nose and I tried tightening the walls.
On the 4th day, she broke out again, and she scraped her nose... =_=''''



Quite serious... had some bleeding and white stuff at the nose... then at night, I place her in those carton boxes to prevent her from injuring herself again.
at least the injury dried up ... poor gal T.T

@girlyphuah : 4 hedgehogs! Wonderful family you have there ^^

@berman oddly cute hedgehog you have there! Hope to see more pics of him

Same like my gal Cottie. Still biting me if i hold her too long. Violent lil girl.
I have no clue how to make her stop biting, but the methods they teach online (blow at the nose/push them back when biting/ask nicely to let go/etc etc) doesn't work and I had battle scars for that xD

but now if I want to put her on my lap, I would put my shirt and let her rest in it. She will start "digging" in the shirt and then rest ^^

I shower her, she kept struggling to come out. Then my finger go near.. *chomps*

Come to think of it, the first night I brought her back, she already bit my finger but it wasn't painful. More like tasting la... So I thought should be no problem
After that all the bites were violent ones liao ^^; nevertheless she is still cute

Kirio ah... abit hard to tame dy since I brought him back when he was 5 months old, rounder and spikier, jumps at every movement or when i touch him

Anyone experiencing hedgehogs biting and chewing stuffs like papers? And later anoints themselves lol

Should get a food bowl ma
And a water bowl too

StevenM: I'm using EVO cat food for my hedgies

Ddr3: your Leo is so calm haha I like it

I gave cottie a bath yesterday.. Today she bit my finger till bleeding. Must be revenge for bathing her T.T

congrats! do post up some pics of your new babies ^^

Yes she's still biting if I hold her too long. But other than that I will bring her out of her house at night and she will sleep beside me :love:

Ahh Leo looks so innocent ^^

What's your gal's name?

I tried potty training but it failed too. But ever since I let her in the playing ground in day time, and puts her back the Toyogo box with wood
Chips at night, she will now only poop and pee in the Toyogo box. Occasionally she will pee a little in the playground.

Regarding your previous question, it depends really I
Your hedgie's personality. My cottie is able to sleep beside me as long I bring her favorite tub along for her to climb into. But that's after I let her in many many times while playing on the pc or watching movie.

@ddr3: pinto boy Kirio.. Sighs.. Jumps as high as 2cm when my hand slowly approaches him.. ^^;

But I read here and somewhere else that grapes are toxic to small animals including hedgehog? Which one is true? And for the yogurt, can use the same yogurt we eat that sell in supermarket? Hedgies are lactose intolerant as well, right? So other than milk, what other things it cannot it? I thought all dairy things can't? That include eggs, yogurt, and cheese, right?[/quote]

I feel so paiseh asking again, do anyone know the answer to my question?

[/quote]
I've seen a lot of warnings online about giving grapes so I didn't try giving my hedgies.

So far, cottie loves eating boiled chicken meat,
Insects, capsicum, nangka and some sweet tasting fruits.

I've given small pieces of hard boiled eggs to cottie but doesn't fancy much since egg don't have a strong smell. Cottie and Kirio loves the small yoghurt pieces I bought for them. Its the small packaging meant for giving hamsters and mice though ^^;

No worries Noobish

@ddr3: oh ya about quilling.. Cottie doesn't shed much quills during her first stage and I barely notice any skin.. This time also doesn't seem to have any second round.... Yet

@steven: should give your hedgie mealworms or crickets, it's a hedgehog essential diet

Hey you really scared me right there -.-
But playing dead.. Is very cute >3

Not so geng but I almost want to page down and type 'condolences' lor.

Added on June 13, 2012, 3:57 pmDamn I also wanna go bond more with cottie redi.
When petting hedgies, do y'all pet their quills often?
Or like Nethelp says, turn them over and rub gently?

I also tried giving my hedgies two diff brands of food, I r EVo and one is GO. Evo have less fat whereas GO has more fat. But they all prefer EVo.

A very short video of my Cottie yawning.
Behold the teeth that bit me.
