QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Oct 29 2007, 08:01 PM) Hmm.... bleeding, if foot, sometimes it's the nails... see got any breakage or not.... but if there is no wound then shouldn't be a problem. i'm running out of mealworms...If your hedgie is having mood swings and not eating regularly, you can give treats like crickets and mealworms. previous batch i thrown away coz a lot of flies' egg  |

Aiyah.... flies come coz the mealworms are damp.... and smelly so of course will got flies come and lay eggs.
The proper way to keep mealworms is by keeping in a basin or deep plastic tray or ice cream box without the lid. Use a bedding of oats and feed only leafy vegies or carrot slices. No cabbage, no apples, no wet fruits or cucumbers..... Leafy veggies like sawi and kangkung are good enough for feeding mealies. Then add additional protein like fish pellets or dry cat food. Anyway, great update!!!! Donut gave birth at around 12am I think coz I found her with 2 live hoglets at around 1am. Sad to say, she actually had 3 hoglets but she cannibalized one... so I guess that one had a defect. I managed to check the dead one's quills... looks like these hoglets may have more white quills than salt and pepper quills. Hope both will grow healthy now.... really sayang, only 2 hahahha.... now need to wait for 2 weeks before I can handle them. The size of new born hoglets.... they are tiny, around 2 inches or less. |

Congrats Hun!
Hope the 2 hoglets will grow up big and strong  Since I've bought the Acana (for some reasons I didn't think properly when buying  ), shared some with my friend for her hedgie...Her hedgie has eaten Orijen cat before and prefers it over RC, but then doesn't seem to touch Acana  She's still trying to see the result today... Lucky didn't buy a lot cuz just wanted to try, after this must get Orijen lor...  KP |
