no,no. dont get me wrong.

i just bought this hedgie for bout a week plus.
i dont know she's already pregnant.
n just now she gave birth.

dats why i said i dont plan this to happen.

sorry..
how bout at the shop?
did they put ur hedgie together with other hedgie there?
emm they shouldn't do like dat la..
or maybe they don't even know how to differentiate between a male and female hedgie..

i never had a pregnant hedgie before so couldn't help u much..
all i can say is don't disturb her so much k?
anyway, congrats..

oh.. something like buy 1 free 3 like tat... anyway, congrats to u.. i know u dun plan this to happen but its already happen.. best to keep her at those quiet place..

hi...

thanx for the advice.
rite now, just covered the box. to make sure the mom can get her privacy.

buy 1 get 3. yep, its my case.
i have already told the seller bout this thing.
possibly, the previous owner will take care the baby for a while.

should dat cant happen, plz help me to ensure the babies survive.
im doing the best i can. search info n all dat.

all the advice are highly appreciable.
thanx.

wow! got babies.. lol
well.. I never encounter this before so I can't give much info for u...
what can I say is, just make sure the mom feed the hoglet and don't change the bedding....

Hi Omisa,

That happen to me a year ago....
Brought my baby home on Wednesday, went to work the next day....balik rumah I'm a grandma alredy

I freak out like crazy....call a very helpful fren who help me and have more knowledge
No worries...just leave the mummy to tend to the babies.
She'll know what to do

Congratulations!!!!

p/s am not new to the hedgehog corner, all the while been reading only....i have 2 babies of my own

i know how freak one can be. hehe.


dats what im doing rite now.
giving the mother some privacy.
hope everything will go smoothly and all the babies survive, healthy and super duper cute.
btw, the urge to peek the babies is the very dahsyat!! hehe.


if u have any tips or hint, plz share it.
i wud appreciate dat so so much.

omisa, just remember another thing to tell u...
make sure u prepared few more cages or 3 as u said mom delivered to 3 hoglet
because when they reach the age of 2 month? they have to be separate.. should be less than 2 month i guess to separate between male n female

Dearie,

Memang, kalau boleh nak peek like every second.
I got the first peek at the little durians when I wanted to surprise zara, but got surprised myself

But after that I refrained myself from peeking, which is very hard....
If you nak peek pun when she leave her babies untuk makan. I did that but I make sure zara tak perasanlah....

Am not sure I have hintz to give dear...
As I said earlier, nothing to worry. The mummy will know what to do...

cheers!!!!

It's 3 hoglets, 1 litter.... you got it wrong.

Do not ever peek. It would just disturb the female.

Also.... your hoglets most likely are inbred..... how come the seller never separate males and females?

One thing to worry, any inbred animal would have a shorter lifespan and weaker immune system..... for me it is not something to be joyful, is more like worry worry worry.....

There was such a case with my friend..... turned out her female mated with it's brother but the seller never said anything, kept denying not. From 3 hoglets, become 1.... vet checked, said immune system too weak, that is why died.... all coz of inbreeding.

So you better get yourself ready..... if your female is young, she may cannibalize or reject the hoglets if she is stressed. You better get milk on standby. I handfed hoglet that haven't open eyes before because my female rejected her hoglet and cannibalized 2. Stress of having a litter.... This is normal for 1st litters some times.

Give your hedgehog plenty of kitten food and water. Do not move the enclosure in any way. You can only start moving stuff around after 2 weeks.

Hun, I think there's some misunderstood goin on with the pokimon..
I know the seller n u know him too I'm sure he will know if his pokimon is pregnant... but it turn out like this so.. no idea

the pokimon is 8 months ++ I think she some how will know how to feed the hoglet..

herm.

im gonna check back with the seller.

i wonder if i'll actually know the truth.

i really hope this babies are not from inbreed.

Just check lah.... coz it can happen as it happened to my friend loh..... she was so sad that the hoglets died, but vet said nothing can be done.

I dunno who is the seller lah, just that you better make sure not inbred....

may i ask how much for a starter kit for the pokimon??
maybe i will plan to have one

~~da experience of taking care of pokimon is great~~

Birth matter...

Dear guys.. To be honest, I sold the hedgie to omisa.. Anyway, I'm not the owner nor the breeder (p/s- I do not breed hedgies..).

I checked the hedgie with the previous owner and we found out she's not pregnant. I also make sure the hedgie is very healthy and free from mites.. I bathe the hedgie before it went to new home.. And also I make sure the hedgie is very very tame.. She didn't even quill up when omisa first held the hedgie.. Bout the pregnancy, maybe I'm not too expert yet to tell.. Yeah but I'm learning..

The hedgie was planned to be kept with a male albino for breeding purpose but after some time it didn't succeed anything at all.. So the owner plan to sell.. So no 'inbreed' confusion here..

I'm sorry if the hedgie gave problems to you.. However, I offer to pay back your money or take care of the hedgie & hoglets ( err, the previous owner will..) I do not leave my customers by themselves in any ways..
Sorry was a bit busy lately, you know la, weekends musicians sure have loads of gigs and shows..

Here's the number of the previous owner: 0172193620.. sms him if you have any questions.. but to let you know, I'm also here to help you out..
So sorry for any misunderstandings, I'm gonna make sure this won't happen in future..

Anyway, congrats omisa!

anderyna, Pet Shack got starter kits for hedgies..Please PM me and I'll direct you to it's thread... thanks!

Dear Bonai,

Yes, that hedgie is a very nice one. healthy, tame n playful. im very happy to have her.

For the birth matter, its just a surprise. yeah, it freaked me out a bit. but when came to think bout it, maybe this chance wouldnt
come twice. (since i never intend to breed). so, i decided to raise the babies myself.
For this matter, im still a newbie. dats true. currently, im googling for info. going thru discussion forum in hedgehogcentral as well.
Any advice are welcome.

Btw, the mama n her babies are having their own privacy. approached the box only when to add food n water.


p/s: bonai, thanx for the support.

Oh, from you.... i didn't know mah. My friend experience was from a breeder.... Anyway, as long not inbred then it is ok.

Do you hear squeaks? Hopefully you won't experience cannibalised young..... coz I did, that is why I had to hand feed my hoglet. Luckily she survived and ended up in a good home.

Give plenty of kitten food and water, you can only do cleaning after 2 weeks since birth.

Good luck.

hi.

there are some sounds. like squeaks n chirp. kinda baby bird sound.

dats normal rite?

Yups, that's the hoglet's sounds. As long you hear that everyday, it means they are fine and healthy. If no sounds, then there could be something wrong as this is from my experience. Hoglets squeak or chirp for their mom.

ooo.
if then, the babies shud be fine.
hope everything will be alrite.
