Lil'Maine, when u want to let your Gie Gie bath, you put her ( is it female? ) on 1 tang or container let her pee or poo then only give her bath. So you no need change water so many time. Just put your Gie Gie in 1 container for awhile before bath.

yeah it's a female...haha...ic ic..thanks for the advise...still noobie..haha

Last time i also don't know, always change water when bath, after that i tell him ( sure he don't know what i say ), just poo and pee here before you go bath , then i wash his cage and waiting his poo poo ....

is it? but mine din really did that... I mean he poo once only and can finish bath him wif one shampoo water n one clean water to rinse him... lol
but he did want to go out from the small container I used.. haha...

still dun want to play wif the wheel till now T.T but he likes to sleep behind or under the wheel?? -.-
and still dun wan to play wif it...

munchan86, when you watching your hedgehog play the wheel ?
Last time my Bo Chai also like that, don't know play the wheel, then i take him up there and block him going down, after that i spin the wheel slowly let him walk, after that midnight he can play it himself.

But you also need to check, is it your hedgehog easy to climb up to the wheel? I think young hedgehog is hard to climb up to the 12" wheel because of the stand is high abit.

I tried to put him on the wheel and block him for going down but he climbed my hand just to get out from there
and I check ed that he can climb the wheel since it's not that high... and he just having so much fun playing with the tissue roll than the wheel..

I see, but my Bo Chai don't enjoy the tissue roll, he think that is enemy and just bite it and pull back....

Maybe you can try training the wheel at night. ( Bo Chai like to play at night )

it depends on the personal owner, for me i bath both my hedgie when they start to have odours. for the toenails, some how both my hedgie's long nails seem to disappear after some period of time..

How come like that? Did you cut for them ?

lol i did say disappear vincent. meaning i did not even touch them but they tend to be short again. maybe their nails broke or something :S
