Ah, cool! I knew of the site, but I didn't realize they have forums. That's interesting, I'll have to try & check them out at some point. Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info! I'm excited to start trying it. The probiotic power is a really good idea. Thanks again!

Hello! I just had a quick question regarding the diet that you have your hedgie on - I'm thinking about doing the same thing! I love the idea of the Nature's Instict bites, and luckily they're available at the Petco near me. I was wondering - how do you store it and feed it? Do you have to thaw it before each meal? Also, how much do you feed her (do they come in like patties or little bite sized pieces, like kibble)? Thanks so much!

Oh thank you!! I'm always looking for more links and sources of information, so that's great! I may pass this group along to a friend as well - she was asking recently if I had any sources or forums for raw feeding cats/dogs. I'm glad I've been able to help. I hope Lulu continues to do well on her new diet!

So sorry for your loss. Sometimes they just make their own decisions. You can take some comfort in knowing he did not die alone.

Thank you for the kind words :relaxed: Yes, this was nearly 2 years ago, and I am still obsessed with all things hedgehog although I don't check in here as often as I should. Our newest family member...

Time for another update, in case someone down the road is researching raw or natural diets and is curious about long-term effects. I just re-read my previous post from June and realized that nothing...

My oldest son had a King snake years ago, and I remember him trying to switch it over from live to frozen/thawed mice, but I don't recall that he was successful. Glad to hear that you made the...

Congrats on your new baby! She looks just like my darling LuLu, but bigger. How much does she weigh? I haven't been on the forum for awhile, so you may have already answered this, but are you...

I just realized, looking at the calendar, that it's been over a year since we switched LuLu to a raw diet, and thought maybe a brief update might be in order. I say "we" switched her to raw, but...

Time for another LuLu update, but there isn't much to add from the last one. She still seems to be thriving, slowly gaining weight (up to 350 grams now) and is healthy and calm. She has settled into...

Is it possible that she is sensitive to what the mealworms are being fed? Some mealworms are kept in a substrate of wheat bran, which they ingest. If Nico is sensitive to wheat (and many animals are)...
