haha...
gomennn~~~ I thought it's urs.. m(_ _)m
our hedgies siblings!! hahaha should bring them to meet each other next time lol

bath... was thinking to give ken his first bath later on sunday... wanna see his reaction... =p

stinky , no la, normally every week bath 1 time. So, see is it can bath for next week or not . I like give a bath for my Bo Chai because of .... I can play with him

Not sure when i will be bathing mine, altho he seems relaxed and comfortable (exept when i first wake him up, grumpy )
Think i will wait another full week at LEAST to make sure hes fully adjusted with his new home before thinking about giving him a bath.

Question
Im guessing warm water is best for bathtime?

The best water is of course warm water. The best shampoo is to use puppy or baby shampoo that has oatmeal in it.

Bathing is easy once you get the hang of it. Put your hedgie in the sink. You can either fill it up with water till it reaches the hedgie's chin or you can use the shower. I have done both, and the shower works the best because it gets rid of the shampoo suds easier than pouring water onto the hedgie.... but don't do this on your new hedgehog lah coz it may freak it out if it is not accustom to baths yet.

Toothbrushes are the best.... but I use a dish brush ahaahh. Big and easy.

hmm... u got the point... at least let him really get to know us better first... k la.. try ur work then.. hehe
ur Demon also grumpy when u woke him up? mine too!! when i woke him up on the first day, he like wanna poke me n soo pissed off..

Haha! dishbrush, awesome
I bought a teeny tiny soft bristle toothbrush with a rubber coated handle since i was scared anything else would hurt the hedgie, looks like i was being overly paranoid? New mom, what to do.

I also got a small bottle of no more tears baby shampoo since i was unsure if the shampoo i use for my cats was suitable , and plan to look around for some organic oatmeal for oatmeal baths anyone know a good type?

Johnson & Johnson, yellow ( abit orange ) bottle will be the oatmeal shampoo. I'm using it

When i give my Bo Chai bath, i will put him in 1 place let him pooo & pee there after that only start bath, if not.... u will see your shampoo water with poo .......

i'm thinking of getting a hedgie (use my keyboard money...bye bye keyboard) after my finals....but i really need advise...dun reall know how to handle even after reading all the recommendation....are they easy to rare? do they get sick or injured easily??? i'm kinda worried bout the mites part....still considering....

dun expect ppl to spoon feed u step by step only
if u really interested to keep one, pls take initiative to read more and research more as this is a living thing ur dealing with
even if we got everything ready and prepare, u wont know what kinda thing which might happen therefore its better to learn more first before commiting on one rather than rushing to ur pc to ask when some shit happen

juz my 2 cents

i have read alot edi...gearing up for my future hedgie but i'm kinda scared....

Hmm... the one i got is J&J with yellow sticker but if i recall correctly there is also an orange one which is the conditioning version of the yellow
Which is yours? im a little confused by your description

Cimredopyh, thank for the link...very informative....
dang...suppose to study for monday finals...end up reading bout hedgehogs oni...

nothing to be scared of
when u tink ur ready juz get one

Sorry Cimredopyh , i make mistake for that, I'm using that is Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo with wheatgerm.
The picture like this >


The sticker there got a word " with wheatgerm " ( picture there look like don't have ).

Hahah... for dish brush, you need to choose the softest you could find. I found an Ikea one... it has a suction cup at the base, only RM4.90 and it is not too hard. Does an effective job once mature coz their quills could be hard to clean with a tooth brush coz short and small. Takes time. My hedgies bath about 5 minutes each.

There are plenty of organic and safe shampoos for sale for dogs and cats, just you need to know where to find and get the money.... coz normally 1 bottle is like rm30 over or RM40 over.

lol lenglui, you really did your research too well . seems like demon's doing well there. you manja him too much hahahah . im proud to see you guys post new and lots of pics of your hedgie. Keep them coming k!
