yaya....hedgehog corner V4..

Hi all Newbie here, Can i know how to prevent hedgehog from getting skin problem ? Can anyone let me know what bedding should i give her and how many days i need to change a new bedding ? What is her diet ? Need to eat meal worms ? Or i just give her the kitten food ? She can cold at night ? If yes what should i do ? How long do i need to bath her ? Need to take her out to take some sun ?


Sorry for too many questions i just want to keep her in good way , hope you all can help me !

Thank you.

what i did for ChaCha and MongMong is very simple...Start from bedding, i will change the particular dirty party only..cause both of then will pee and poo at 1 place..so is easy for me just take off that part and put some new wood shaving. The recommended wood shaving from us is Chipsi Classic or Delikate..I feed them 3 tea spoon a meal,and meal worms maybe twice a week. I like to bath for them, just put them into water last night..

sry this is just my opinion, the fact of this need people who more expert explain it for you.
Good Luck and Have FUN!

Hi... I guess almighty has already sent u a post..
trust his ways, he is a good hedgehog owner, he spends lots of time caring for his babies..
so if u have anymore or gazillion more questions u can ask him.. haha
he wont mind answering!
All the best new hedgie owner!

Most of the answers can be gotten at first page as it is very basic to keep a hedgie. Anyway, here are some short answer regarding your questions.

1. Can i know how to prevent hedgehog from getting skin problem ?
As long the environment is clean, hedgehog seldom has skin problem. Main problem would be mites. But if you change the bedding frequently, this ain't a problem.

2. Can anyone let me know what bedding should i give her and how many days i need to change a new bedding ?
Most of us here using wood shaving. Brands like Chipsi Classic/Super, Delikate & Aspen. But use Delikate would be better as Chipsi brand recently is quite dusty & Aspen is expensive. You can also use Breeder Celect, just that it's quite expensive to be used. Changing your bedding is depending on you. Some of us here change once a week or once every2 weeks.

3. What is her diet ? Need to eat meal worms ? Or i just give her the kitten food ?
Staple: Kitten food. Brands like Innova Evo, Royal Canin, Orijen & so on. AVOID Commercialize brand such as Friskies, Iams & Whiskies.
Treats: Mealworms, crickets, fruits & vegie (if your pokimon takes it)

4. She can cold at night ? If yes what should i do ?
As long is not in air-con room. She'll will not get cold. If you're afraid that she'll get cold, just put in a towel or your old shirt.

5. How long do i need to bath her ?
Once a month already can. But if you feel she's very dirty, you can bath her but not too frequent.

6. Need to take her out to take some sun ?
No.

Hope this might help...

I'm not sure with Purina. But as i know the brands i mentioned above has poor nutri in it. They spend more on advertisement rather than the quality on the food.

I see, because i saw that Purina kitten quite high protein and low fat, around 38% protein & 10% ( around ) fat, royal canin kitten although is low protein than purina but got 1.1% calcium on that cat food.

Hi all , Thank you so much almighty , tamdan and babymoli . Thanks for the detail i will keep it and apply it to my beauty girl . Once again Thanks! Will ask your advice if i still do not know how to take a very good care of her . But she don't need to take any sun on 365days ?


Thank you all of you ! Thanks for your advice it help me alots !

They prefer dark rather than bright. Till now i don't take Ren out for sun. He's always in the house.

Pardon me... I didn't sell any hedgehog.

Wow welcome TUICO, so many baby hedgehog u get in 1 time???
Well be nice

opsss sorryyyyy!!!!actually its sangterap.not babymoli.sorry again....

Is ok . Heart is a special boy. Now he has become baba already..

my MongMong having a heavy dandruff problems, any shampoo i can use for her?

Then you need to get her oatmeal shampoo already. Check whether she has mites problem. If not mites problem then should be dry skin problem.

babymoli is rite, kindly pay more attention at these moment, use oatmeal shampoo for bath and c whether any improvement....
