It became kind of a pattern. I inject the dexamethason, she starts eating like crazy for 2-3 days (Especially crickets) the next 3-4 days she eats a little bit, then the stops eating again, gets a new dex shot, and it starts again.. i think im going to continue with weekly dexamethason shots, and try to make the interval between them bigger. i still don't know why she wont eat, but as long as the dex doesn't have bad side effects, i will keep this up

So sorry for your loss, may she play in peace over the bridge till you meet again.

I am so sorry that cancer/tumors took your precious hedgie. You did a very loving thing for her(?) and let her go surrounded by love, If I can make a suggestion, it might help if you...

There is something important to remember as well. While our babies do need us, they also need us to be functional. If someone or something dies, if you have the flu, if you need to cram for a million...

You're right. You obviously know what I've been through. I'm just going to say it straight up, and I'm sorry for this, but you're comment was harsh. And it's clearly not going to help the problems...

I don't know you, I don't know exactly what you've been going through, and it sounds like you've learned a lesson. So, I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I'm going to say this for the benefit of...

I too appreciate the apology. I'm not sure if it's the first step, or just words. Time will tell and this may be one of those moments where there are long term results of the way we carry ourselves. ...

Yep! Yay boy time! Some are more open about it than others, some are dirtier about it than others, it just depends on the hedge. I've had to wash hedgie gunk out of my hair before because I thought...

Hi Mom! lol

Just as an update: I haven't gotten her footprints in clay back from the vet yet but am expecting that soon, which I plan to place on a large shadow box that also has her favorite toy in it and...

I just had to share because I'm super excited about having this all done. I now have my vet clinic, groomer, and food location all settled for the dog (and future pets) for our new location (Kansas...

I can make the announcement now! I just got approval to be an official Rescue Station for the Hedgehog Welfare Society! My information will be up on the official HWS page in the next couple of days,...

Hi! I made a video of my hedgie :D Check it out? It's called Life with Hedgehog but as you all probably know, it's not all fun and games! haha I left out the poop and cleaning and nail trimming....

Yes! That's exactly what it sounds like! Thanks so much. I'm glad it was a happy noise. I really feel like Moxxi and I have hit a milestone with bonding ???

No, a hedgehog can't. They should only be left alone for one night at the most - anything longer, and you need someone to check in on them to ensure that heating & lighting is working correctly,...

I know I love my hedgehog because I spent weeks consulting multiple vets, a pet nutritionist, a couple of raw feeding boards, and now am mailing off a sample to a lab for a guaranteed analysis a hand...
