hye everyone..i am new here..
my hedgies name is joni and he is 7 months old now..

thanx

thanx..
this is joni


a great climber and escapist..i think he watches prison break a lot la


too lazy to sleep in his hide box




he loves to stay between my boxer..hehe


loves the camera



he's very tame to me and my gf..we take care of him sama2..1 nite at my home and the other at my gf's..
and he's friendly to others too..
a few months ago he is very skinny, dont eat much..
i brought him to the vet and the doctor introduce me to 1 kitten food that he sells..and its working..he now gains weight and i loves to see him fat

i got 2 question though..is it ok if i kacau him during his sleep?but its only from 6-10pm la..

and i'm thinking to buy him a new cage bcoz he not fit for current cage..is it ok if i use big plastic container?

just got back from penang, and i bought joni his girlfriend..4 rm140 only..he was so excited he woke up and kissed her and try to mate with her....
since she 's too young to mate, i separate them..
and i also bought the plastic container..its very spacious for him n her 2 play..

i'm giving her name jeni

will upload pics of jeni later

i know..thats why i separate them with blockers in the middle of the container..
for plastic container users, do u guys poke hole on the side of the container to give some breathing space?
and my hedgies cannot walk well on the surface..it has no grips..how?

no i think its not wobbly syndrome..because joni also experience the same thing..i think the surface too slippery for them to walk on..how u guys get the surface become not slippery?

it will cause them fat and problems later..
live meals is advisable to give as a treat only

my joni n jeni are having mites..jeni is having the worst..i can see the mites crawling on her skin..it scares me..
i have seen a vet and he told me to bring her and give a shot of ivermectin..
i studied the effects and lots of people says giving ivermectin will cause death..

please help

have anybody been using frontline for their hedgies?i have asked the doctor about frontline and he said that there is a dosage to spray on the hedgies..
any comments about that?

owh thanx..
tomorrow i will go buy the spray and see what happens..
if the mites continues i will go to the vet and take the injection..
u spray on the whole body or 1 place only?

ok thanx chika..u have been very helpful..
u have 2 hedgies rite?i want to see ur hedgies..

haha already sees it..so cute la..mines mixed too..joni is albino male and jeni is S&P female..
joni is so attracted to her and wants to have some happy time with her ..everytime i let them get together joni always chirp2 like little bird..
so cute..
u dont wanna try breeding them?

oh same like me..i study at shah alam and thankfully i live in rented house so easy to care for hedgehog..
tapi xnk breedkn lg coz nk fully understand the behaviour and such..
very tricky for me coz duduk ipoh..and the vet macam xtau apa2 sgt bout hedgies..
everytime ask him sumthin he refers back to his book..biasa la bukan exotic punya vet

actually i juz continue my study for degree there..so i dont technically lives there now, but will later..
yea we can hang out..
hand n paws?where is it?in ipoh or in kl?

sure, but i want try finding exotic vet in ipoh dulu, coz im in ipoh right now

i hope ur hedgies will be okay..
mine got some too..
then i bring to see vet, he bathe them with diluted avermectin, now my hedgies not scratch like b4

@ReBeLLioN
haha so cute la ur hedgie..look so marah when u want to bathe him

its so hard to take hedgie pictures rite?if use hp camera so susah the face all blur bcoz move too much

@keziaxo

hedgehog is always a wild animal, so if u have tamed her, then u dun continue tame her like dun play with her, she will be back to her wild side..
thats why when u left her for a week, she has forgotten ur smell and dont recognize u anymore...
they have small brain la, cannot remember many things..
u should play with her at least once a day..
if u left for a few days u should put ur old shirt inside the cage so that she will remember u when u get back

@M.soniQ
no worries..make sure u put ur old shirt inside..wear it 4 a few days then put..that way ur hedgie will never forget u

lol hahaha..of coz la it will b d 2nd 1..too smelly until nose not working anymore..cannot sniff d

@ runner999
maybe u dont wash ur hand thoroughly after eating or such..bcoz hedgies are extremely sensitive to smell..especially smell from food...
yesterday i eat durian and wash hand not thoroughly, joni and jeni tried to nibble..geli loh..haha

@ReBeLLioN
so hard to take hedgie picture..must buy dslr to take better picture..but dont hav the money..hehe
