bro, better change the bedding to BC or back 2 nature. or if you can't afford, use chipsi CLASSIC. not scented ones. flip the shavings around until it's almost dust free. then remove those large pieces that might cause a cut on your hedgie. because sometimes wood shaving have pieces of sharp woods that can poke your pet.

but best is to go for BC or back2nature bedding. less odour than wood shaving and the poop is easy to notice so that you can scoop the poop away and put abit of new bedding there.

most won't try to eat the pellet but there are cases of people's hedgie eating the pelleted newspaper bedding and get choked. so you better monitor for the first few days.

BC is it for cat that 1? Or still got another type ?
Maybe I try 1 see how is it, because my wood bedding almost finish.

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

Try Back2Nature, NICE!

Ok, I also want to try back2nature because of it look like wood shaving
Thank you guys for those information
I appreciate

Pepper poops frequently when I hold her in my palm.. Is it normal? Or she don't like me carrying her, so she poops? :-(

If the hedgehog won't recognize you, it will poops, try play more with you hedgehog or holding it, after they know is no danger when you holding them, they will enjoy like that

hi, just a question about bathing
im scared that when i pick her up, she turns into a ball and when i put her into the water she will stay in a ball and not come up to breathe?!??

they dont do that right...my friend put that idea in my head so im scared..

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....

O... HD can bath like that. If I am u, i think my hands will shake with holding him even with the towel, scare kena poke ! I try to 'pet' it at petshop, i just can said. 'Eh'!

What to do for me when i want to bath my hedgehog is, I just take him out and put him to a small area let him walking, later you standby those water and put him in and bath , beware pee and poo

Ya they won't poop when get wet else u brush their head lol.

I just change the bedding with back2nature, now just let him play around there, because of his leg injure, he just like to turn to side and sleep, and he fatty and hard to turn back to normal just swimming on the bedding.... Sometime just help him turn back walk few round and he want to side sleeping again .... maybe he look my family all sleep like that at floor and he follow....

maybe she's not getting used to you handling yet.

and about the ants, sapu vaseline or cooking oil on the container you keep your food pellets. like 1 round so that the ants can't go in. few days ago this happened to me too.

but afraid the hedgehog will lick it... will he??

hi , actualy i was thinking to have a hedgehog as a pet, but i heard they will bite, and once they bite they won't let go easily, is it true??

sapu at the food container, not on the food. the container u use to keep your kibbles.

hehe.. My Pepper bit me before.. Yes, quite a grip but I shake my finger a bit then manage to release my finger from her mouth.. Then another occasion I put my finger near her for her to smell.. Then I saw her opening her mouth so I quickly remove my hand.. just dun put your hand like a bait, shouldn't be a problem..

gosh...i been bit by my glider b4...
but i tot they recommend hand feed..so the hog will bond to u more and fast....
as far as i know hand feed is feeding them with ur hand but not feed them to eat ur hand hahaha...

yes, they will roll in a ball even underwater...
but once they r out of breath, they'll start to surface...
but then, y wanna put so much water?
u wanna drown them meh?
1 inch can de ma...
they can swim, but not a good swimmer......

Added on June 21, 2009, 10:30 pmu r getting wrong info la..
not that scary..
glider bite hurts more cos their teeth much sharper
will bleed if glider bite..
normally hedgehog only nibble, try n see if u r edible..
not as painful...
but if they know u r not edible, they won't bite de
