Henrieta..... DIED !!!! NUUUUUU!!!

My poor hedgehog was shitting blood a bit few weeks ago but it was only on 1-2 occasion so didn't think much of it.

Then my father called up and said he saw the hedgehog lying on it's water bowl. I thought she was just playing about since she has a tendency to lie down and act lazy.

Then the next day the hedgehog was near the bowl still not moving and after giving it a prod found it dead !!!

It's nose is blackish and has some sort of puncture. It's mouth was foaming and had blood and some sort of greenish foam color.

I suspect a snake came and bit my poor Henrieta !!! Because i keep my hedgehogs at the back of the house and although it has large grills it won't stop any snakes that come from the backstreet outside ! I had some netting but i leave them off because it obstructs the hedgy wheel.

Mr moogle's seems to be fine because he has the pent house above Henrieta.

This is a totally f***ed up weekend for me and my hedgys .... i buried her opposite my house, may she rest in peace ( my parents wanted to throw her in the rubbish bin, can you believe that !!! )

Henrieta - my favourite hedgehog. Fat hedgy that is friendly and likes to lie flat on the cool glass. You will be remembered amen


Ps: after Henrieta's assassination by evil reptile, i called a vet to see how much it would be to take mr moogle's in for a check up, but they said keeping hedgehogs is illegal in malaysia and you need a permit or something. Is this true ?

I also have 1 house vacancy for any extra hegdy that needs a home since the bottom rack is empty, i have plenty of hedgy baby kitten food and an extra wheel !

o_O: regardless the hedgehog should be taken care of.

Mine almost bit my pinky

Mr Moogle's is a grump what to do Ever since Henrieta died well..... she was a friendly hedgy i could play with *sigh

I would do Mr Moogle's nails after i bath him because he cannot curl up when he is all wet. I think he learned if he curled up that i would drop it into the water i think that is why it doesn't curl when i bath it. It struggles a lot when trying to clip its nails with my assistants help to hold onto it.

Anyway just tried to clip and sometimes it bleeds a bit, after that it doesn't move/struggle as much. I think he just cooperates otherwise it would hurt itself lol.

I feel sorry for the hedgy but what to do when it keeps struggling so much I don't like it when my hedgy gets hurt.
