is that really a recycle paper bedding.?
it looks like wood shavings to me that use for hamsters..
and sorry if i'm wrong..
but if i'm correct that can be harmful for them...
i have also seen numerous warnings against using cedar shavings,
especially for baby or young hedgehogs where the strong aroma can actually overpower and even kill them.
sorry again if i'm wrong.. koz i just uses fleece.. safe, cheap n easy to clean.
oh n btw..probably the best to bring that lil guy to vet..

ok, i hope i can get some enlightenment here from those who has experience rearing hedgehogs.
recently i bought one newborn about 3 weeks old, its a female. she is active and eat a lot but one thing bothers me. its her front right leg, it looks like twisted/ sprained/ broken to me and she limps when she walks. btw my bedding is recycled papers so i thought perhaps she is not used to the new bedding.
what suggestions are there? thanks
here are the attached photo, when it rolls up all the limbs should be inside right? though the pic of her sleeping looks pretty normal, i have another pic which shows her front right leg cannot bend at all. to upload tomorrow
