A little question...do we need to feed hedgies worms/crickets? Can i just give a diet of cat food and veggies? Kinda not used to the idea of feeding animals with...other animals...hehe

LoL..
everyday just eat cat food...
yeah sometimes give them mealworms/superworms cricket,
anyway catfood also contains AYAM... hehehe..

Mine shud be around 4 months by now and it quils once awhile and i don't see and new quils pooping out too....

So i'm little concern bout mites but i cant find any mites and all quils are attached with follicle like as Olivur said its shud be safe from mites...

@ddr3 : Yes, they go through another quilling process at 6 months. Huffy went though it a few week ago. No worries.
@ EugeneLowPNG : Odd quills will fall off once in a while. Nothing to be concerned about as long as the follicles are attached.

Hedgehogs CANNOT be vegetarians. xD
If you're concerned about feeding your hedgehog LIVE creatures, you can feed them a bit of cooked chicken as well.
Hedgehogs are insectivores so I would suggest that you feed the hedgehog mealworms even though some argue that mealworms carry no beneficial nutrients for hedgehogs.
Avoid using freeze-dried mealworms because they cause constipation.

Here's all you need to know about their diet & all : http://www.freewebs.com/thehedgieden/hedgehogcare.htm

i need a wheel for rocky...the current seems to be too small for him since he has been putting on some weight for the passed few weeks...
anyone got any suggestion where can i get a bigger wheel to fit our hedgie?

If you live in Klang Valley, you can find silent spinner rip-offs at RM80-ish in Pet Lovers Centre branches.

Who knew hedgies cost a bomb to rear, even after the initial cost of housing & food...
I spent RM123 on 2kg of RC36 & RC32 yesterday at The Pet Family.
Ramsden (where I usually buy as it's the cheapest where I live) closed down so I had to go to TPF. D:

The young hedgehogs have begun running on the wheels.

monitor her closely. i do the same with mine and this one time i caught her gnawing on a rogue pebble that somehow ended on the grass bit of my garden x_.


and mine mainly just stays in a circumference of 1 meter annointing grass and soil still lol

Rearing hedgehog is pretty cheap. For u it's a different case cos u r breeding them.
If u only have one, it's not costly at all. RM20 a month? that's about all

Hello to all the hedgie lovers..Im new here Hope you can help me with this ques.?

My friends male hedgie is a proven breeder, so is my albino female, however, this two hedgie won't mate with each other..why ah??

The babies sure eat & poo a lot nowadays. x)
With just two hedgies earlier, 400g lasts for two months.

I've read somewhere online before that some female hedgies just don't like certain male ones.

Hmm, maybe the male just don't know how to impress my female

hehehe..

anyway mala, how many days you put them for xxx?

I think he meant feeding his hedgie with live insects
because I too find it hard to feed mealworm so occasionally I feed them kibbles/chicken/pork/salmon and fruits, I curi it from my dog's dinner
