wah, interested in hedgies now.. good! good! welcome..

thanks... tapi still blur bout hedgeis... have to read alot... pening oooo...
do u guys bring ur hedgeis evry wer...??

hi there.

welcome to the thread.
well, nope. hedgehog is not like SG that we can bring here and there.
they tend to get car sick, will vomit, pee and poo.
often will cause messy and not so adorable view.

hahaha... oh realy.... wow.... kinda interesting...heh.... can SG get along with hedgeis..?

hermph.

for that question, have to wait others.
maybe can ask bonai since he used to rear both SG and hedgie.

but my guess is, the SG will be poked by the hedgie. LOL.

hahaha.... i havent finish doingmy research yet bout hedgy...
but i read thathedgy can be toilet traint...????

haha.

that is one wish that all hedgie owner have in their mind.
yep, they can be toilet trained.
observe their favorite poo spot, pick up their poo and put it in a poo tray.
then hope the hedgie will got the point. hehe.
this my friend, does require patient and consistency.

Poo Tray, how does it looks like? Any pic to share? How easy or hard to train a hedgie to use the tray to release themselve?

hmm.... wer is bonai...??? wana ask u bout SG n hedgy can get along or not...???

well,

actually it depends on the owner to choose.
some use the ferret poo tray, the triangle one.
some use the small baking pan.
be creative is the key.

electroyid: bonai usually active in midnight to early morning time. hehe.

Omisa, where have you been? Busy lately? Your hedgie all released? Sorry about the cancellation.

Litter training. Erm, for mine, is depends on her mood. She pee and poo in the ice cream turperware. But that's only if I don't provide her a wheel to run on. She'll ignore the litter thing and poo on the wheel while running if I provide her one.
Thus most often I don't give her, her wheel until she is finish poo~ing. But sometimes she'll still poo and pee outside the tupperware, maybe too small gua...

Hiyuki: Albino is common. I think champagne is quite rare.


The ice cream tupperware was intended to be a toy for her to hide. Not as a litter tray~

hi empty_reg,

yeah. almost end of semester, rushing with extra class and assignments.
its ok lor. no hard feelings.

that's a nice setup. just curious, where is your hedgie hide box? sorry if i overlook it.

huh... i finish read the whole thread.... sound interesting... but not ready yet...
how do u bond n play with hedgey..???

Omisa: Thanks alot that you filled me in with lots of details regarding hedgie last time. I have no permanent hide-out box. I use newspaper roll only. I took it out in that picture to let her try on the wheel.

Electroyid: Erm, I tickle her cheek every night. Take her out and play by putting her on my lap. Let her walk around my bed sometimes. But I make sure she's clean first lo. At first she'll be reluctant, but you can try to give her some meal worms to let her relax.

hehehe.

knowledge are meant to be shared.
owh. newspaper roll also ok. hedgie just love dark places, tunnels.

to bond: spend time with your hedgie. everyday. try hand feed, give them treats. get it used with your smell.

owh... like dats eh... hmmm... will they poo on the bed..??? if we put the toilet tray.. will they go inside n poo or still poo anywer...???

Yes, they will poo on bed. Especially when they are afraid, and not used to the smell. I kena once before. But the poo is solid, not very sticky - not very messy lo.

For toilet tray. I can't 100% guarantee this. But I'm quite satisfied with mine. Mine use the tupperware as a place to relieve herself, and since the tupperware is far too small for her, sometimes she stick her head in to poo, but her rear is outside. So... my bad. And this is only true if I don't give her the wheel until she is done poo~ing.

However, according to many sources from the web and from the experience of other owners here. It depends. More info :-
here
and here

When training starts young, chances are higher I pressume. There's a seller in GarageSales selling hoglets that are potty trained. So info from her will be more accurate.
