Donut today weighs 384g! Fast ler..... heheheh... can't wait for the big day....

3 months is still young.... but do check for mites.... alot of breeders have been saying their hedgies are "mite free" but some infact come with mites. Choose your hedgie wisely too....

Ah, its been a long time since i had been here. And its V4 already..LOL..

Anyway, Ryo' i think you need to check the hedgie properly. If he likes to scratch, it is most probably he is having mites problem. Do look for anything moving around its body especially the quill area. Best of all, bring him to a vet to have a full checkup first. There tend to be alot of problem buying hedgie from normal breeders...

If hedgehog scratches alot, means mites loh.... they will only scratch alot if there are mites. Very irritating and if not cured, can cause death too.

Sometimes a hedgehog can die for many reasons, it could be some respiratory disorder, maybe liver failure? Inbreeding? Won't know until you do an autopsy....

Anyway, RIP to mochi the hedgie.....

So far mine all ok (touch wood) Hope nothing happen to them.

nope..

anyway this is the picture, snap using old phone camera dunno whether can see clearly or not =.='''



i notice some white colour quills poking out, and those white colour looks bigger than the white/grey colour ones...

cute Lucy~ it won't poo or pee on your bed?

i don't really dare to put mine on the floor, dunno how to pick her up later -.-'''

the attitute change a lot!

- eats VERY little
- only start eating and playing when all the lights are switched off
- keep running away from me when i want to pick her up
- sometimes i hear some click sound when i sit beside the enclosure

planning to bathe her tomorrow..dunno jadi or not   

My little Warrior poo alots while bathing...Is that normal ??

Wa nice DIY wheel Ryo, but how you screw the wheel and the stand? is it with roller there ???? ( I can't find the small roller .... )
Maybe you try remove the sleeping box and see is it will step on it ? ( Midnight or do this will better, because is hedgehog enjoy play time )

i must say i love your shots! xpecially the snickerin one & the one with jr. on your lap. i'd love to have mine sleep like that.

cheers on the wheel. it'll take some time before they discover the magical force of zee wheel. then you'll worry more of cleanin it as often as ya can.

The wheel looks great. Nice DIY job, what pail did you use?

Anyway, it takes some time. Curious hedgies will run straight away, some just need to adjust and explore it before using.

Anyway, Donut is 428g today! Fat... heavy.... how long till she pops?

hi everybody..
just come back from raya holiday..
brought sheimi back to my hometown, but he seemed stress by the travel..
and he pees a lot.. all the shavings were very wet, huhu..
but he ate a lot of kibbles.. i tried giving him banana, he licked and started anointing..

i showed sheimi to my nephews and nieces, suddenly one of my niece (who is big enough to get married) shouted so loud and asked me whether sheimi will shoot his quills.. i told her: dis is a hedgehog la, only porcupine can do that shooting thingy.. and my uncle pulak told them some stupid fact: "kecik-kecik memang la baik, nanti dia besar dia pandai la tembak.." duhhh

-----------------------------------------

anyway, congrats to all new hedgie owners.. welcome to the pokimon club <- moli, why pokimon eh?

wonder when will donut delivers the hoglets... can't wait..

Oh no...those flies lay eggs all around the mealworm box, even in the box.....
