Hello sifus. I am thinking of getting a hedgehog, and I want to ask:

For the kibble, how do you rate Blackwood Kitten and RC Babycat 34? Because at my area I don't know where to find the cat food, and the store I know don't have RC Kitten 36. Not sure no stock or not selling. I think they are selling IAMS as well but not sure which type. Can I just feed it RC 32 even though the hedgie is still a baby?

Do you know any breeder in Kuantan?

I thought I have lots of questions.. But that's all I can think of at the moment

No one want to answer my question? So sad

Thanks ddr3 sir

Do you know any breeder from Kuantan? I've been moping around for months, considering to get a hedgehog or not. Then I went back home and showed videos to my family and cousin, and the cousin suddenly got interested and beg my aunt for a pair. Considering the amount of research I've done, I feel so when he got a pair from local petshop. Thought I could stand the wanting longer but the news only make me feel like LOL I feel so desperate for one.

Read from here mav_850 hometown is in Kuantan, but I've asked and he won't be going back anywhere soon

I feel so tragic lol

I FINALLY GET A HEDGEHOG OMGGGG

My aunt gave my one of the pair It won't be till this weekend I get him/her

Finally TT.TT

Maybe it is just me, but their detailed characterization of hedgehogs always make me

No one have any pictures to share? I haven't got mine yet

Guys/girls, I also have question, on page 1 it says that:



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?

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

Thanks sidyeah and rex, for answering my question
Oh, yogurt for mice and hamster I didn't know, thought normal yogurt lol

Another question... Is 11" diameter wheel is big enough for full grown hedgie, or must the wheel be 12"?

Already am
I know 12" is the best... But 11" should be ok right? I'm not sure the pet shop have 12" or not

Not yet I need to finish my final exams first Then finish up preparing his/her home The soonest I can welcome her properly is by this weekend. Too excited to study for exams

Sure I'll post some pics later There is no tesco near my place Most likely I'll buy those Toyogo-like box.

I want to ask, 1kg kibbles for a less-than 6 months hedgie can last for how long? That's the smallest they have in the pet store I don't know where else to find them, as I don't go out often to explore. But that store is the best I've found so far

Does charcoal really works to reduce odors? I mean normal charcoal? I know activated one works. In your opinion is it really needed?

How do you rate Blackwood Kitten? Because I check the nutritional value and ingredients pretty similar to IAMS Kitten. That store last time I check no RC36, but have RC34 and RC32. My aunt said the store use Blackwood for hedgehog. I'm not keen on using IAMS since I hear report of animal cruelty Maybe I should turn one eye blind and just buy

Sorry ask a lot. Curious

Can't wait to see your babies

hi guys, finally got my hedgie xD i think it's pretty big already.. it won't play with toilet roll, test giving treats to him but he only eat mealworms.. And he has very, VERY small thing crawling behind his back.. Not many i think, and dropped quills have tiny balls.. So it should be lices, right? Frontlines or revolution works? I read here about bathing d hedgie but it's hard for me to search that post now as i'm doing this through my aunt's hp. Can i bath him with baby shampoo? How frequent should i bath him? How many times should i wash his cage? I read something about quarantine.. Can someone explain to me about that? I'll go to shop tomorow to buy his stuff, cant go to vet, though i checked where d vets are, i duno which can treat hedgie.. Short of time as im leaving this sunday as well. Sorry, i knw i sound irresponsible Dx

thanks ddr 3, i've bought frontline from petstore though, though i dont the infection is serious for it. Just in case, i want to ask, if we use it, what's the interval between each spray/treatment? If i only use bathing method, how often should i bath him?

It's okay, got it figured out. First-time parent panicked a little Theory is one thing, experiencing it is another He's okay now, though he doesn't look as well as properly-cared-for hedgie yet (because he's not before I take him under my wing ) Very well-behaved and love to groom himself as well. Named him Roll, then my aunt change to Rolex
So opposite of another one The other one is super defensive, and not in good condition either Called him Fossil. Would have take care of him as well but he's not mine, and his owner doesn't seem to care about his health as much Fossil have very bad dry skin, super grumpy, super defensive, suck at climbing and digging as well But comparing the two he's probably the one you can put on your lap and cuddle since Roll likes floor better than anyone

My aunt, who got them from a pet store for my cousin. But I think the condition is okay before my cousin got them I only take one of them, can't take care of both as I'm away from home

How's Leo? No new pics?

Hi guys, I wanna ask, anyone here have any experience treating hedgies with fungal infection? How long does it take till he is cured? I'm taking over my cousin hedgie, which is super grumpy and defensive, afraid he's far too much for me to handle. If I don't take him, afraid the hedgie will die. I can't take care of 2 hedgies once my practical is over, but my main concern right now is to get him back to health, as he is in a bad condition right now. Anyone know any vet that treat hedgies in Kuantan? I have issues of going to the vet because of my working hour, but I'll find a way once I know where to go.. If not I can't do much other than buying antifungal shampoo and cream to tream him.. And pray he'll get better.

No pictures la, he's not with me yet, and hard oso to post since now using phone for internet. I'm going to get him in a little while today. Thought mites/lices and bought frontline, but no effect. When I 1st look at him, there were scabs on his face and ears, removed using baby oil and seems ok, but he oso suffering from quill and fur loss. Now he's having diarrhea as well. He spike up at the weakest sound. LOTS of dry skin, and few quills got red dry skin surrounding him.. Like luka but only on a quill, then at another spot, another 1. Since I dunno his age, can't say quilling or what-not.
