Hi there, new hedgehog owner here! want a pet hedgehog since few months ago, decided and finally getting myself one
got it from one of the breeder @ Mxdah.my, not really a responsible breeder i can say, 100% profit-based breeder
2 months old naughty girl, sleeps a lot during daytime, VERY active during night time. had her for 3 days, every morning when i woke up, poops everywhere in her cage need litter train her but takes time right.

my girl


close-up picture when she just woke up and uncurl, will do nail trimming but will wait for few more days when she's more familiar with me
is the skin near her ear there dry skin? will buy vaseline afterwards..



bought this wood pellets from Pets Wonderland @ Midvalley, rm13 for 2kg. izzit ok to use for hedgie?




bought everything including this cage(except the ceramic food bowl) from Pets Lovers Centre, this is all i can get for her, a rabbit cage
big and with solid plate at the bottom. bought the wrong material for her bedding, thought this is Fleece but seems like its not
got her a wheel also, not shown in picture. she's currently on the hedgehog food 'Hedgehog Premium Food' from the breeder
will slowly change her diet from hedgehog food to RC36. bought one 400g pack from Pets Lovers Centre too, costing me rm19,
the branch i bought from doesnt sell any repack..
She hissed when i first got her but now no more, its just that she wont stay still when i hold her with my hands, naughty gal, even saw her clinged on the cage trying to escape
when i let her wander outside the cage on the floor, she sniffs and keeps finding 'hole' to dig in
eats and drinks a lot, before i sleep i'll put 20-25 kibbles in her bowl and in the morning all finished. big eater
but just now there is watery poop in her cage, when i let her out of the cage, she poops again, all watery. any idea why isit happening? is it because she got anxious when i pick her or something?

*currently a student living in condo, this pet definitely suits me since normally i study in the night, there she is my companion now

in the process of litter training my girl, will be a long long journey to go. everyday i came back to her and there are poops everywhere in her cage
especially when she's eating, she can poo at the same time im a bit worried of her, since her poop has been watery for the past two days..wondering is it something wrong with her diet? or is it just the environment
will bath her later

She's better now, less watery poop. guess i worried too much

btw, my hedgie drinks plenty of water a day, up to 20ml been trying to bond with her everyday for the past few days. really hyperactive and couldnt stop exploring put her on the chair just now and she just jumped off. memang la ni.
