wah, now u alao wanna take in hedgie?

well..u can see my cage setup previous page i think i got post..hedgie 6 weeks ? so 2 months lah ? mine 3 months old..maybe quite same size..i got post oso previous page...pg 68 if im not mistaken. but mine albino type..

in the day i put living world hse..like eskimo hse so my hedgie can sleep whole day in it..at nite i remove it and put in wheel..i got post vid my hedgie playing with it..

um, maybe you can handle it when the quills are not erected?

hahaha, we don't pick up the hedgehogs when it has its quills all up, it's a sign of being defensive. let it cool down a bit, perhaps will require a couple of minutes or so, once it's familiar with you i don't think it'll raise its quills when you put your hand nearby to pick it up. about the pain issue, i think it's more

btw, i think the 2nd-hand zoozone in garage sales is still available.

Would hedgehog be hard to keep as pets if one were to get one?

i am juz curious

would a RC for dogs do for hedgehogs? 33% protein 20% fat and ETC @_@~!!

maybe i bought the wrong thing

did you remove the remaining overnight kibbles? do add up to the existing in the bowl as some hedgehogs pick their food. sometimes if the kibbles don't smell 'fresh' enough, they won't eat it. may a kibble a two, but that's all.

always dispose the overnight kibbles regardless of how much it eats.

also, it the food sealed tight in the packaging or tupperwares after you first open? i once left my food package unsealed properly for a night and my hedgehog refused to eat until i bought a new one. now i keep my food in tupperwares instead of the original packaging.

I would agree with livingmonolith...
Usually i would prefer to feed them right b4 i go to sleep at night..Then wake up in the morning most of the kibbles usually gone..then top up again b4 go to work...Maybe overnight kibble 'Masuk angin' hahaha....thats y the lil durian become a bit choosy...

Have u guys ever give ur hedgie wet cat food...coz sometimes when i feed ma cats, ma hedgie sometimes will wake up...i think is because of the smell..is it ok for consuming?

Is he weak? can see any sign of injuries?

Try giving hard boiled egg / boiled chicken breast meat together with kibbles, 30:70. See if it'll take the eggs / meat. Try not to offer mealworms anymore, they'll survive without it cause too much is not good.

If they'll take the eggs / meat willingly, then most probably they don't like the cat food. You can substitute the meat with other meats as well, but as long as not high in fats.

@ 11-11 : Most will categorized it as exotic.

yeah at first..everyday just let ur hedgie smell ur hand..after awhile scoop it up and let it walk2 on ur hand..play with it..like mine it wont poke2 that much unless i disturb it sleeping or anything..

Want to share some story with u guys to keep this thread alive…
That other day, one of ma hedgie prison break herself…I think it was a well executed plan since me ma self never saw it coming…

MeenTo log, 13 Mac..

Princess A.K.A Lady ‘P’ was a descent hedgie and live a normal life as any other hedgie.. Sleeping and eating, that’s her routine all day long.. I’m quite happy with her…
But I was wrong…

As usual, every night I would feed all ma pets before going to bed.. Princess would always greet me by sniffing ma hand..And I would always give her a treat as a memento for being such a good gul..
But I was wrong…

Went to bad (I sleep on a futon bed) as usual that day, when around 3am I feel like something really sharp poking me.. Who in the world woke poke me during this time of hour, when suddenly I look down and saw Michelle trying to push her self under me…When she realize I’m awake, she juz pause there, looking at me like nothing happened…

The moral of the story is, don’t underestimate ur hedgie..
Both ma hedgie live in a custom made 4feet tank with the height is around 1.5feet..
But I have never cover the tank up coz I thought its impossible for them to climb out..
I think She climb out by climbing the box I put in as her hiding place...
Bummer..
