what do ur hedgies look like when they’re happy/ content?
i’ve been taking babs out of her cage daily around 8 pm to sit on my lap for a bit (40 minutes to an hour usually). she’s started to do this thing where she flattens onto her belly and her feets stick out (cute asf). i was wondering if this ment she’s getting more comfortable with me? is this the hedgehog equivalent to a cat loaf? thanks :3
My hedgehog is about 6-7 years old and he has been getting these green gummy poops. And on many occasions I find him struggling to make it to his little house in the mornings, so he is cold when I find him. I recently switched his food to wet cat food if that might be the cause but I am still very concerned. Should I bring him to the vet? Or is it just because of his old age?
hey so I was wondering if i could bulk buy tons of insects (mealworms,crickets and pheonix worms/bsl)
and put them in a mini fridge- would they last/survive? I would probably get the insects out before to feed veg :) but i cant rlly keep insects in tubs or anything. this would be best :) I cant keep them and keep buying live as i dont have many stores around me so i wanted to go down this route :)

So when I was moving my babies into their new homes, I accident bumped into one of their cages And the heat lamp fell. I snatched it up immediately but it still burned my baby girls quills :( she is acting fine, and her skin has no burns at all. Is there anything I should do? I gave her a bath and double checked her entire body and it is intact just her quills. I’m never going to forgive myself :(
Getting close to 2 years old that’s the age I cancer starts in for my experience. Now from losing our Baboo I am going to start taking my girl at age of one for check up. I feel like if I would’ve known this for my baboo he might’ve had a chance his cancer was bad. UF university hospital in Florida had a great team. If you need to take your hedgehog somewhere, that’s the place to go. They tried everything to save him.
What kind of toy your hedgehog likes to play? Mine likes to flip his food bowl 😂 He doesn’t like his other toys but I need some help what toys I would try.
I have been wanting to buy a hedgehog for a long time now but don’t know where to purchase one. Any website or places in las.Vegas you can buy them?
