some don like mealworm try crickets, from all that i read most hedggies like crickets more...lol ..

congrats for getting the hedgies =)

Colourful diaarhea? LoL! When i previously feed a stray cat with Friskies biscuit, the bulu become much much nicer than a stray cat and become more like luxurious cat, but oh well, now i noe those product are suckie ^^. I will never buy those product for my pets again..

i never knew hedgehog can be bela

Can we actually touch them?

actually RC aint that expensive..i calculate its just as normal bela any animals..

thx alvin...but how do i feed him??...just put it infront of him??...momo ignore it and step on it ade la...hahaha

try not to give him option..meaning asingkan makanan lain..letak mealworm jer..

u mean letak meal worm dlm 2-3 ekor dlm bowl dier and left it there ker??..i tot mealworm tu as treat jer??..

Hes still adjusting to his new home, give him time to relax and get familiar
I dont see any reason at all why you should force him to eat the mealworms by taking away his basic food during this time when hes adjusting>.> please dont simply give suggestions irresponsibly
Just try again some other time
and yes, mealworms are considered treats to supplement their diet with

Edit: Muchan found someone to babysit ken yet?

actually... I'm not at home now.. and for these 10 days I asked max to help me take care of Ken while I'm not at home...
I was thinking to ask him again to baby sit Ken... but kinda scared that I disturb him too much.. cuz currently he took care of Ken and then next month I asked him again... I feel kind of uneasy.. ><
so I was asking if any one here want to help me baby sit Ken.... cuz I really had to go back for family occasion.. and it would be around 2-3 weeks T.T

juz what i think...momo is more relax now..i can carry him..but stil have a bit of temper...btw what is click sound that i read at page 1?....momo hiss a lot...

i didnt ask him to put basic food for like hours right? =s just teaching that there is another food for him and i didnt ask/tell him to put away his basic food more than whatever minutes or hour right?..please dont simply judge irresponsibly..

words said has different meanings through different minds ... if u say like this means everyone's mind is same as yours?
she's just saying not to take out the basic food and give 'momo' more time to suit to its new house(environment).

yes hedgehogs can be 'bela-ed'
and yes it can be touched once it recognize the owner if not those having them are dead.. lol

cricket i read is just leave it there... let the hedgie chase to get thier food. (maybe ur mealworms taste bad ) check the front pages there are a pic of super mealworms...

No you did not specify how long to take away the food for, and that is also a problem
if your going to give advice be CLEAR about it "give advice responsibly"

Teaching him that there is another food for him?

Even if you did specify how long i still dont see any logic in the advice you are giving, mealworms are a treat/supplement, they are not medicine that must be eaten immediately
The animal will eat it when it wants to, there is no reason to try to put it in a situation where is has to.



Sigh....im not here to play word games with anyone im here to talk about hedgehogs
I fail to see how im judging irresponsibly. Its someones pet we are talking about here.
I saw bad advice and i stepped in to point out what i thought was bad about it.
I think im using a discussion forum as intended

Muchan check ur pm later

is it just me or hedgie sleep most of the time?....btw...where can i find a wheel for him??..most of the pet shop here sell hamster wheel only...huhuhu

You can find it either in PW or PS. Both have 12" wheels on sale.

long time didn't go in here.... anyway.. wishing all hedgehog's owner has a wonderful christmas.. and happy new year...

ps: gonna prepare special mealworms x'mas dinner for the little hedgies.... hehe

I miss Ken Ken so much... T________________T
wish all of u a Happy and Wonderful X'mas!!

blessed christmas everyone~!!!
*matt gave spikey some crickets for christmas* so cute

anyway, spikey seems to be scratching quite a lot lately and he seems to be quilling also.. can it be mites? how can we be sure that it is not mites? (the skin is red if it mites ar?) @_@
can we go to any vet if our spikey got mites? =.=

Check him under bright light like torch light or sunlight even better. If it has mites problem, you'll see tiny white walking fella or another way to check is the falling quill. There'll will have a round thingy at the end if normal quilling. If you do not see the round thingy then is mites problem.

Edited: If you find mites, please remove the bedding and use only newspaper till it's cure. Sun your remaining new bedding. You don't need to bring it to vet. You can do the treatment on your own by spraying Frontline. Go get a Frontline spray.
