Help!!

My hedgehog has its skin peeling off at the tail section, after we took him for a bath. When he curled up, we notice the tail section is going to come off.

Do you know what's wrong. He is a 10 month old Albino.

Is there any vet I can bring him to in PJ area. Thanks in advance!

Bathe him with normal water. The yellow stains are medicine that I can get hold of as of yesterday.

Went to Pets Wonderland last night to get some Nano spray that was recommended. Kills bacteria and fungi etc!

In the morning, all the skin+quills came off. The right "butt cheek" is bald now but can see a couple of new quills are growing again. But still worried!

well prolly the nano spray is too much for the hog to handle (also it looks young) so maybe save it for when it grows up or sell it off. i'd say dont touch it much for now, let it be on its own. make a cardbox tunnel for it to crawl inside so that it wont scratch or bite its butt, since it cant turn if its in a tunnel (if it scratches that is). if u're too worried then definitely bring it to a vet but be sure to be ready to be charged a fortune icon_idea.gif

Hi, fellow hedgie parents!

I wanna know, how long do you usually lay out the dry cat food for the spiky kids before they go 'lemau'? I try not to waste too much, huhu...

P.S. That butt skin peel-off looks really bad. I hope you can find out the problem and have it fixed up. >.<

um i usually give out about one tablespoon? 3 times a day, sometimes more if he uses cat eyes, and less if he seems meh. it should be that they would finish the food immediately and not leaving any left. if there is, its prolly too much

HI. will be getting my hedgehog soon, but im already researching and finding everything that i needed for the new baby~

questions. hope that someone will answer them for me.

for the cloth used for housing base, i read that many uses "fleece". can i know where can i get fleece in malaysia? currently residing in ipoh. also if possible, can i know what is the chinese word/name for "fleece" material. tried to find them in pasar malam but nobody seems to know.  rclxub.gif

2nd question. Other than fleece, is there any other material that i can use for hedgehog??? 100% cotton maybe? or those bath towels (will cut them small)? hope that there are another material alternative.

3rd, how do u wash the material chosen? do u wash it just like any other normal clothings? use dynamo and such such???? are they sensitive to the detergent smell? research says that they are very sensitive to smell...

4th. As a girl, i frequently uses body lotion on my body. does hedgehog like it? can i make them used to my lotion smell??? i read previously someone used oilment on their hand and hold the hedgehog, and the hedgehog bite its own legs because of the oilment smell left on his leg.
Hope that someone can enlighten me on the matters above as i would like to prepare the best for my pet.

since no one replied, and also sorry for the slow answer as i'm not much aware of things here anymore unless someone tagged me. simple answer is just use your unused clothes. but be sure not lines were undone later it gets tangled on its legs.

yes, try not to use dynamo or detergent, just use close to boiling water and soak the mat (cloth) in the bucket wash wash then dry under sun like all other clothes. smelly then change, better than hurting its nose.

before and after handling them also need to wash hands throughly, meaning no lotion especially if they're babies cus they wont know what is that and can get naughty curious. if adult still okay cus they might know what's what.

conclusion: SO, just to be safe, try not to do any of those stated by urself. just use normal clothes for their mats, or better yet just newspaper as they poop like random no. of times per day. if anything just quote my reply and ask again
