Added on September 5, 2007, 8:09 pmwent o maju just now....doc cant treat heggies....refer me to a wild life vet....wild life vet ask me to check on my heggie see if he has an over grown tooth...and now i realise that this little fella is constantly chewing...as he chew some substance like mud comes out from his mouth....wild life doc say....something to do with his diet that why he weak....so root cause still unknown...could be because his tooth he cant eat properly that why eat little....eat little cause him to weak....

solution, anesthetize the little fella, open his mouth grind his tooth...i dono is anyone has tis problem...

i just took over NZX's Gary......but then it's not eating....maybe he could not adjust into new area/owner? Any Suggestions???

try the vet @ tmn megah
what u can do....wet the cat pellets (i assume yr feeding him that) before giving to your hog

Mostly the 1st and 2nd night can be stressful.... instead of catfood, try and tempt it with mealworms.

Coconut at Malacca.... so I guess it would be a problem if got no way to come down to PJ....

I think RC babycat would help coz it is tastier and easier to digest.

Ya, i just bought super mealworms and fed it with it....he likes it very much. Thx.

He like to do his business on the exercising wheel...Very dirty.

I only manage to let him sit still once on my lap.....after a while, when i pat his head, he move around again....nearly poo on me.

lol..my ChaCha always poo on me..is ok lah, just clean it when they poo on you..

hi guyz...... sorry,been busy lately,got a lot of reading n catching up to do!!!
c0c0nut, cute little hedgie u have there,but i have to agree, it look thin, better go 4 a check up...
n try feeding him mealworms, coz i think hell accept mealworms better than other stuff....

ok got your msg ! thanks bro !

eh..showering a hedgehog..if we use from direct water heater but adjust the tempreture to mild warm can?

My hedgehog just started eating on my palm...
I think the super mealworms will easily cause a hedgehog to gain weight. Coz it's heavier today. ^.^


Anybody toilet trained their hedgie b4???

Do you guys feed some fruits for hedgehog? I'm facing this problem, my hedgehog don't like other thing just only cat food ...., I have try feed apple, pear, orange or vege also don't like. I'm scare my hedgehog won't enought vitamin or will get problem at future.

mine is toilet train
u can train them

mine also only eat rc cat food, nothing else. meal worm also dun eat

broken_string is it "rc" is a brand name?
Because the cat food that i feed now, already change the taste already, like abit salty, and my hedgehog also feel like that and not eat much.

Need to find another brand cat food to change. Anyone here can suggest me? I have try Purina, look like quite ok.

most of us here are on 'royal canin babycat 34/royal canin kitten'. some are on 'orijen cat food'. lyn forumer - white palace is sellin that. orijen's better since it's higher in protein & less fat compared to 'rc's line.
hedgehogs are insectivores so they don't take fruits. they're not a fruit bat na ><!

I see, last time i found other forum ppl can feed them vege or fruits, ok i will check about that royal canin and orijen cat food.

Hmm my hedgehog fatty already need to call him run more wheel there XD, just buy a new bigger wheel for him.

Hedgehogs can take fruits. In the wild, they eat berries and young shoots when insects are low.

In captivity, they would rather eat the catfood that is supplied. Not many would take fruits. Out of my 3 hedgehogs, only 1 would lick fruit puree that I make for my sugar gliders.

Eh yao, me also got 1 suger glider too XD.

Hehe, now only know use hand to catch hedgehog is better, i always use a cloth cover it and catch, use hand hold it sometime kena his spike.... XD.
