Does it have meaning when your hedgehog extends its legs. I mean I guess like the tummy will be higher up and they walk a little taller. I am not referring to stretching unless this is a way that they stretch. Idk but it's so cute when he makes his legs look long and I just wanted to ask incase there is something I need to be aware of.
Wild fox attacked wild hog in (UK) garden recently, we have a hog house and we feed. What is best way to avoid this again? Is feeding hogs causing more harm than good?
Anybody have info for a reputable source?
I need inspiration. Thank you in advance
Just wanted to let everyone know that blink cameras are currently only $20 at target. I picked one up so I can spy on Petunia.
Hi, not a hedgie owner but I work with one. We had a breeding colony of Giant African millipedes dumped on us and I was wondering if the babies are safe hedgie food. I thought they were poisonous but google gives me mixed results on feeding them out.
Thank you!
I recently just got my first hedgehog buddy. she’s just a baby so we have many years to spend together but I was curious, is there any ways we can bond more so she’s more comfortable with me?
Hello! I’m thinking of re designing my hedgies cage, I’m wondering what people think of these/have they tried this?
