Im relatively new to raising hedgehogs, so please forgive my ignorance
I have one 4 year old hedgehog, that i bought about 5 months ago. the bedding material used was a blue recycled pellet, good absorbancy and what not. i continued to use this material. i noticed she had a little bit of a runny nose, but being new didn't know if this was normal
i now have two new hedgehogs, a 2 months old female and a 3 month old male. they were both bedded on a type of wood shaving.
i remember in my research before getting hedgehogs, that certain types of wood shavings can give them respiratory issues, that's why i kept on with the recycled material. but now the two new hedgie's are also displaying runny noses. could this be from the bedding, or perhaps a different issue?
thanks
