Just like people they can be allergic to anything. Food, bedding, laundry detergent, smoke, perfumes, shampoos, etc.
Allergies like people can be either respiratory as in runny nose and sneezing, or topical which is rash, hives, red skin, sores.

Like Nancy said, hedgies can be allergic to almost anything. Interestingly, Snarf had exactly the same allergy as I do - to people. I noticed he had a definite reaction whenever a human touched him or attempted to pick him up. He would huff and pop with his quills out. Every person that came along got the same treatment although he did it with me a little less, likely because we had a sensitivity to the same thing.

I was going to ask the same this morning
![]() I started Hazel out with bits of scrambled egg...then chicken. Both went well no issues. The veggies via baby food tho HA HA HA! I gave her a wee bit of sweet potatoe each night for a week and she never touched it (she actually pooped on it several times too ha). So I tried butternut squash 2 nights...nope....Peas and turkey 2 nights...nothing. Finally last night 3rd try with the BN squash and Peas I again gave her a bit of each along with some egg and her chicken...looks like she ate about half of BOTH. ![]() |
