QUOTE(eric138 @ Jun 30 2009, 12:40 AM) You shud let the hedgie settle down in new environment first..Leave him alone for 2-3days..put ur wore clothes inside.. After 2-3days, u can started to handfeed mealworms or kibbles.  hi....my hersheys doesn't really like mealworms. i bought the dried ones n he doesn't really like it but the kibbles r still ok, haha...oh ya, where do u guys keep your hedgies n what kinda temperature? i on my aircon occasionally cos i'm scared he's too cold. oh ya, how do u guys shower him? do u only do it when u can hand hold him? cos i dun think he got any bath since d day he went to d pet shop...
