Thanks empty_reg...
Really help me much...will try to get an appointment there 4 ma durian...

yalor...i nw even open the top, he wil go bac to his hiding house ar...so actually i never pick it up or wat...got once when i 1st saw n b4 bring it home so nw,jz let it calm down 1st
and actually....the ppl who sell it to me...she teach me to pick it up wif cloth de leh~
and...haha...thanks for advise

^
Hope he'll be more opened. Try handling it during the evening till night. Is very common for them to run and hide but you can still handle them. Provided you handle them gently. Maybe you can put some worn clothings inside to help it get a familiar with you.

Good luck.

I went to Mid Valley today...Saw the price for a hedgie...
RM 440 huhuhu ....They sure know how to make money ya...

wow, that's sooo expensivee.

In miri, 1 hedgehog cost about RM600 each

I would not expect that hedgehog would be that expensive..
Do you own one with that price danny?

^
Maybe there's no hedgehog breeders in Sarawak? Even RM 400 is high in KL, wonder do they really sell otherwise what would happened to them?

By the way meento, if you still want the hedgie, I can reserve for you. I've already separate him from the mother. He is trying to be too friendly with the mother which leave me no choice.


So cham no place to put.

Its common 4 them to come out when u switch out the light since hedgei r nocturnal...Maybe they feel safer i tink..

Haha, i won't recommend you to do that at the early stage..If u want to do so, be careful..There r cases that hedgie do bite, and i assure that u will remember the pain...Get some time with your hedgie first, hand feed it..This helps the bonding process..Let ur hedgie know that ur hand is not dangerous..Mine usually will sniff sniff when i put ma hand in front of her, maybe trying to find some treat hehe

Yes, u should go and get him a wheel...Quite boring whooo juz sit in the box..but get ready. Although my hedgie is toilet train, yet when i put in the wheel, she always choose to poo n pee in there...
Maybe u can train urs not to do so..

Good LucK

guys.. i need ur help

is this hedgehog or porcupine
coz it got stuck in our underground gutter.

afraid it might shoot its duri
coz this one i guess the wild one

^
Where did you snap the picture? Shouldn't be a porcupine, cause the colour and size doesn't match above. Looks like some sort of salt and pepper to me, think I can see the nose at 6 o'clock.

As long as you have a thick fibre (tower, thick gloves, your shirt) on hands you can carry it. Tricky part is getting it our from there, won't be easy.

what should i feed it??
took it out already.. lol
it's 12pm rite now.. and i called the city council, they said this one might be ill
thinking to release it.. coz don wanna add burden to my pocket
would like to keep it though coz this country doesnt have hamster

its alive.. its alive

what is salt and pepper??

lol

What about snapping a picture at the face? It could be an European instead of African. Salt and pepper is a colour of African Hedgehog.

Do you have dog kibbles, cat kibbles, (pet food), or you can give it hard boiled egg, lean chicken meat, (meat, unseasoned, lean) or you might need to give it insects (it'll eat most kinds).

Water is more important. Try to give it a paper box to hide itself to reduce the stress.

Good luck.

If you plan to buy it (Pet food), find the one which has higher protein content. We use RC Cat and other various brands here in Malaysia, not sure if is available at your place.

Is it tame? Does he rools up when u approach him? If he shows no sign of aggresiveness, then maybe u can put him up for adoption, rather than releasing him to the bush.

Please find another hedgehog owner near ur place to have him checked. This hedgehog is too cute to be put in a bush.
