You can feed the pupa too

It's a bit more yummy and crunchier

Haha.


KP

actually they do more like the beetle or pupa than mealworm...n the crunchy 

Today I heard the silliest thing.... I was at a petshop buying RM5 worth of mealworms.... then I'm quite ok with the staff, always chat with them so I told her the mealworms were for my hedgehogs, then she told me this:

"Hedgehogs, don't they die easily?"

I was like "Huh? I've been keeping for 2 years lah" and then she was shock.... she told me there used to be a customer who bought 2 hoglets.... they died in a week.... you know why? The person did not do research lah..... For 1 week, the hoglets had nothing to eat but mealworms.... worst is that the mealworms didn't eat so they had very low nutrition in them..... since mealworms are just high in fat and moisture, there was nothing to sustain the health of the hoglets, so they died.... So I told the staff that next time anyone ask about diet, tell them feed high quality catfood like RC, then feed mealworms as snacks.

they wont be bored to death la lolz
try giving her a toilet roll to play with.

mine juz have a toilet roll but goona get a wheel for him today

30 kibbles per day? You count before you give ar?? I feel like is too little. I feed my boy 1 tablespoon per day & he's ok. Not overweight but a lil chubby. He has wheel to run every night. So it won't get over weighted.

1 big tablespoon is more than 30 kibbles. Some time i give him 2 tablespoons per day. 1 morning, 1 night.

Tablespoon is about the chinese soup spoon size.... anyway, as long you feed a balance diet of catfood and mealworms, your hedgie won't die lah..... you imagine if someone just give you plain rice for 1 week? You will have energy but can be thin and feel unwell coz no vitamins, no protein, no minerals....  If your hedgie eats fruits, good. Some hedgies do not like fruits....

Hmmm... it is normal for 2 month old hedgies to start quilling....

Added on October 15, 2007, 9:46 pmToday Donut reached 394g.... since she has not shown signs of nesting yet, I don't think she will birth so soon. More mealworms for her hahaha.

Mother and 3 little hoglets   
The hoglets 3 weeks old   

Ah, so adorable.... you got 2 albinos and 1 S&P hoglet.... eyes open?
Bald spots you can see very clearly... patches of skin without quills or very little quills.... but if say your hedgehog has mites all over, he will have sparse quills.... can see alot of skin lah.

Take a pic of your hedgie, maybe we can see if it is quilling or something else.

Anyway, mites... got many type of mites... got mange mites... normal quill mites.... mange mites need a skin scraping and microscope to see, normal mites can see with your own eyes. They look like moving dust particles.

you might want to try to ask from pharmacy.

Wa very cute for climacool's baby hedgehog, let me remember when i take Bo Chai home like that size .
But on that time i also scare Bo Chai away from his mother because he like cry or scream on that time. I also worry about he don't eat don't drink also. I always talk to him until he start eat and drink...

Your hedgie got any dandruff or flaky skin?

Here's a video of Lucy biting my bedsheet and anointing as I promised

Sigh... what to do? People always like to sell animals in pairs coz they attract the human emotion. We as humans are sometimes drawn to keep things in pairs....

Anyway, just update on my Donut, she is 420g today, heavy girl.... I wonder when she will birth since I agak it to be this week but seems no nesting instinct yet... so maybe next week. Yoh, I'm so excited hahaha.
