what do u mean by white stuff? u mind take a pic and show us??

Scratching herself could be grooming herself..but how often is she doing?

wow...stratching every 2 min is very often.. Observe and see got quills dropping or not...

ur house got dog or cat?

Don hav cats or dog then shouldnt be flea....

It could be mites.. Check whether any quills lost on her body...

If really last for days, then bring for vet check better.

try not to let ur hedgie vomit... Because it's very hard for the vet to diagnose when the hedgie is having car sick..

There are only few specific species of fleas will live on hedgie but if you hav any dog or cats at ur house, those flea on dog/cat will also 'accidentally' get on ur hedgehog.

The dog/cat's flea eventually will leave when they 'realize' hedgie is not the correct target, but within the time that they stay on ur hedgehog, it create alot distress and irritation.

Flea infestation usually become worse at warmer temp, and serious case may cause anemia on ur hedgie becoz of blood loss.

Yup~ young hedgie quilling when they change new quills. But if quills dropping accompanied with heavy scratching... erm erm... it could be other thing too.

Anyway, i haven ask runner99 who did he get the hedgie from...is it reputable breeder?

Young hedgie will tend to sleep more even at nite, so don worry.

Dandruff u nid to see whether got skin flakes or not.. But i don think such a young hoglet will have dried skin problem..

I never use flash to take any pic of my pets, unless they are not facing me and looking at the camera. Usually i jus on the room light and capture.

Give her sometime.. Hissing is jus their natural response when something approach...

Kenken~~


Kenken: Don kacau me, i am reading newspaper...


Kenken: What u wan la??


Kenken: Shud I call Mary and say sorry to her? erm...


Erm...which leg to bite ler...left or right...

runner...she looks so much like kenken...

but mine now so fat T-T

talk as in TALK lo..hahahha..sit infront of the cage, or hold it and put on ur lap..then talk to the hedgie..sing to him...

5-7 mealies is a lot.......

i usually give once or twice per week...every time around 3-5 mealies..

If u give daily..i think 2-3 max is more than enuf... eating too much mealies not really good for them too...

oh..runner99, u got urself a big-ear hedgie....

urs is S&P i think.judging from the pic...

what kind of wood bedding? wood shaving? or wood chips?

chipsi extra?

for male hedgie, i don really recommend u use chipsi. Becoz after he poo the bedding will stick on his private part... and it may cause infection.

So i still suggest u go for Back2Nature or BreederCelect.

I am using fleece as bedding... And my Kenken is toilet trained. I wash the fleece once a week.

Scented bedding is not really good for animals' respiratory system.. The apple/watsoever smel is jus made to favors human... T-T

Is ok la if u swap like tat... The paper pellet is safe for animals, but of course if ur hedgie swallow it then it's not good too la... But my hedgie are fine with it, my toilet tray also using BC...

I think kinda lot ppl using BC here too..

U can try Back2nature, it's the same with BC, but softer..so it's better for their foot...

I bought my bedding at PetShack too.

Breeder Celect Cat Litter. It's recycled paper pellet bedding...

Try Back2Nature, NICE!

hedgie cant spike up when they are wet...hahahaa....

U put her on ur palm first... let her calm down bit...unrolled..then only u put inside water...

usually i put kenken inside the basin first...then slowly add water....

mayb she is jus changing new quills... do u notice any new quills coming out?

Usually shower them twice in a month is more than enough. Some member here bath them once a week... But bath them too often they will feel stressful...and some shampoo will cause skin irritation..

why u keep them together in the same housing???

i nid to quote Hao's words...

'Q: Can I put 2 or more hedgehogs together?
A: No! Hedgehogs are solitary animals, meaning they love to be left alone than having companion.

Q: But I see my/my brother's/my sister's/my mother's/my father's/my grandfather's/my great grandfather's hedgehogs look fine living in group.
A: Unlike human, hedgehogs do not love companion, they don't cherish the friendship and it'll make them uncomfortable and even stress if put together. Please seperate them.

Q: But I see they didn't fight oso?
A: NO POK! NO POK!! NO POK IN RK HOUSE!!!! YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE POLICE IZZIT??? Are you blind, don't understand English or retarded? Want me to tell you how many time it's against their nature???

Q: How you know it's against the nature?
A: You have to die to know the answer.
Q: Why?
A: So you can ask God lah!'

I think u separate asap lo...

i tot u getting two zoozone1 from kelvin right? then can use d lo~~

U memang nid to separate them..if u plan to breed..then put them together ONLY when u going to let them mate.
