May i know your purpose of getting a pair of hedgies? To breed them or as companions?

You're welcomed anytime!!

both... would love to have a family of hedgies.

Let's say you are getting a pair, are you ready to provide two big containers for each of them. And when the female hedgie gives birth and you're going to keep the babies, can you provide every each of them a cage of their own? Hedgehogs are solitary animals and they don't like to share their cage with other hedgehogs. And you have to seperate the male and female hedgehog as male hedgehogs are horny and female hedgehog is limited to give birth 2-3 times a year.

ya woh.. actually i read and made some research on the hedgies.. so i have if not a lot, a little knowledge on breeding the hedgies lor.. just that i still on the research of finding a breeder and prices included..

hmm? start small ler. buy 1 at a time. tell u wat, will really feel like shock when u nvr have a pet then suddenly u got 2 of them. Wht hao said is right, u need 2 separate container/cage, and everything else. And when u got more pets, u need more time to take care of them.



I heard that summit pet shop wanna sell a pair at a price of rm2k. CRAZY......

RM2K a pair?!!!! That's crazy man....

Wow....unless if the hedgies are gold plated, i do not believe RM2K per pair....

yott-chan,

have you owned any hedgies before? How come suddenly decide to get a pair? What is your motivation and reason for breeding them?

not suddenly la.. i've thought about it long time and i'm not going to breed and owning them empty handed. i know what i should prepare and such.
i believe you have your own 'first-times' also, that's how i feel lah..aiyooooooo

oic. good that you know what you want and what you are doing. good luck in your quest. Hope breeding is not the main intention you decide to get hedgies.

cheers.....

thanks sangterap..

btw, there's no breeders here in lyn that i could get info on how much they're selling their hedgies? would like to make price survey

Normally would be in the range of 250-280.

Well, if you ask me, i would say try not to get the same hedgie from the same breeder as i feel you might get one from the same parents from breeding.Anyway, it should be about RM280 but thats already kinda hard to get..Maybe you could get one from X-Free.His Mandisa is up for sale due to personal reasons but Mandisa is really cute..

yeah... u can get mandisa 1st, then aim for another hedgie later...

akachester,

try not to get from the same breeder? I say dun even try....just get from different breeder. I believe inbreeding or line breeding MUST NOT be done. Furthermore, the gene pool of hedgies in Malaysia is very small and there is a very high possibility all our hedgehogs maybe related.

Yott-Chan,

If i were you, i'll take their suggestion on getting Mandisa from X-Free. See if you really like keeping hedgie as pet first before you think of breeding straight away.

Yott-Chan, the standard market price is RM280 now. Like sangterap said, get one first and see if you like to keep hedgie first while learning before you're getting another one. And hope that you don't breed hedgies for money

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Almost forgot about the inbreeding matter

Ya hor, now that you mentioned, I can breed hedgies for money
No, that wasn't my intention. I just love to see my pets that I rear have a good partner and family.
Well, I might get a single hedgie first just like what you guys suggested.

You can try get Mandisa. She's on sale right now along with her housing thingy.
