well, i don't think your wish will be too hard to come true. in nz at night times the wild hedgehogs will wander into residential backyards or gardens to search for food (insects), so i think you'll meet up again with the hedgehogs soon.

and frankly, the forest hedgehog looks a bit tamer than expected.

sorry u guys.. bitter truth..
it is consider as a pest here in nz..
same like possum between nz and oz..

wow. msia we pay for hedgies ><

Lol, it's like BTS in Australia. They're pests and very common there, here we pay 300 to 400 for one baby BTS.

whats a BTS @@?

Blue Tongued Skink. OkOK! Off-topic! Mable is still up for grabs.

Mable is a cute hedgie...I'm sure someone will adopt her...cross finger...
Good LucK Reanne...

yalo yalo, Marble so so...cute who adopt her is lucky ppl ^^

my hedgehod seems dun like hard boil egg yeh...he bites 1 or 2 times onli
and yesterday he act like try to escape again, owaz try to prison break ...make me so sad n worry..... wat should i do....? really get a wheel can fix this problem? i afraid he use the wheel to help him prison break yeh since he nt clumsy at all n owaz can/will climb on the hiding place

yesterday i tried hand fed (gt switch on light) n he go bac to his hiding place n dun1 to eat.

Hedgehogs also got different taste. Hehe. You can try other food. What about mealworms? (Mine doesn't likes mealworms already)

Without wheels they are boring, provide them a wheel will usually keep them entertained. Works for mine and my friend's. If you get a good wheel, I believe is not easy for them to hurt themselves.

heard wat u say felt better, so it's ok if he dun like egg lor^^
i got gv mealworms but almost finish ady....
erm....u guys got gv vegetable or fruit ohh...? any example...?

haha,then hope he likes it lar,if he want to prison break again, i'll very very sad jor...



yesterday i tried hand fed (gt switch on light) n he go bac to his hiding place n dun1 to eat
but if i switch off the light,i put my hand inside the box, he'll cum n smell de leh...but really jz for a while onli ....

Don't worry, is their natural instinct to come out after all lights are off.

You can try giving several kinds of fruits and vege in small quantity. In the wild they'll some times eat these but hardly. Last time I gave mine HPW diet (for sugar gliders), but now she doesn't likes it anymore.

Ma hedgie love strawberry jams...
But she never eat mealworm before...I try many times to make her eat it, but juz sniff sniff the worm..
i mix up the mealworm with the kibbles, she don't want to eat at all including the kibbles..
I try give her the big mealworm, also don't want...Then i give ulat gonggok...Juz kidding...
But the thing is, she don't want to eat her worms...So got to substitute with another source of protein...
Guys any suggestion to make her take the worm?

Meento : Demonstrate in front of her la! U eat one in front of her! Then u see she follow not, if not, eat again.

Haha kelvin u play2 r...Come u eat first in front of me...then i follow u...
How is Mr.Humprey...still fat fat like always? Share some pic of him lar Kelvin

humprey banyak gemuk

although mealworms are a good source of protein, they also contain too much fat percentage for hedgehogs, so instead of finding ways to feed it mealworms, maybe boiled egg (only white, without yolk) will be a better choice?

that if your hedgehog takes eggs.

some hedgehogs are just generally picky. i'm stuck with several types of RCs because one of them is extremely picky, even on catfood itself let alone treats.

strawberryjam..? how? by bread? so yeng...hohoho


now stil nt tat worry abt tis...coz my hedgehod nt fat(for me,he got a bit thin) n nt clumsy at all n i think he stil need sum fat

Wasai, you guys hedgehog so many food to choose 1 , my hedgehog don't eat other things like fruits, vege.... ( but egg havn't try)
Most of time like to eat dry cat food and mealworm, sometime also eat the oat that stick with mealworm..

But if the hedgehog eat eggs, I think the yolk also give it, because it contain a lot nutrition, this I learn it when doing sugar glider mix food

I usually put some on a small plate...Mix up with some kibbles also..
Let her smell 1st, then walaahhhhh..She eat like a pig hahaha...
But seriously, very gelojoh lar ma girl when having her strawberry jam..
