nope, mine afraid of height, very afraid, he will juz in my hand when i pick him up, urs is kamikaze type i guess

LOL @ suicidal hedgehog.

try placing something to cushion her fall rather than catching her, imo. he probably just thinks it's normal to jump of extreme heights since someone would always catch her :P

Well its usually so sudden that I'll reach out instinctively. Yesterday she walks off the chair, bounced on my hand when i tried to catch her(ouchh), popped on the floor and continued running around the floor like nothing happened...

Yay 3 new pupas! ants tried to attack them. thank goodness I found out in time when ants started swarming in the cup they are in. I usually won't kill ants for no reason but and angry mommy can really kill >8( and i didn't know pupas can still twitch, i thought they're suppose to be hard and solid?

Surprisingly my hedgie loves fruit and veggies especially capsicum.

@Devilene : don't worry yours not the only one, my girl is also suicidal too, once she kept jumping down from the table and When I saved her for the 25th time she bit my hand :/

I guess they just feel the need to act like a 'wild' hedgehog after being out of the cage for long hours -______-

my hedgehog are 2 month old and just bought it.. it very often scratching its body. was it because of the mite??

Finally! A decent documentary about hedgehogs.

I've been waiting for this documentary ever since I saw the introduction of Pets 101 on Animal Planet.

i enjoyed that. wish it was longer :/

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!

Nice to see this thread has been so active throughout these few month. Just hope that dun let ur hedgie unattended on height place.

Yep, she's staying far far away from high places now )=

Oh and how to take care of mealworm pupas? mine kept dying X_x they dont need water and food right? D: how come they die even when i just leave them in an open cup?

awesome. which one did you opt for?

I asked this here a while ago but no one seemed to notice it.

I noticed an abnormal growth on Huffster's tongue recently & it looked to me like one of his tooth grew out of his tongue.
I don't think it's a tooth but it certainly doesn't look normal.

If I bring him to the vet, do you think he'll be put under anaesthesia for the vet to check his tongue?

no one answer probably because nobody knows the answer...
it sounds scary.. is it still growing.?
hope it'll be gone soon.. but best to go to vet...
