HI this probably sounds stupid but I'm new and I don't really know how to make my own posts help....

Welcome!

Here is a picture of Fitzgerald's dig box right after I finished it. It's made of Coroplast and hedgehog themed Duck tape. In the picture, it contains large aquarium rocks, fleece strips, and...

I'm so sorry. It's such a hard decision to make. But when it's all said and done, know that animals don't approach death the way we do. They aren't scared. They aren't emotional about it at all. All...

Wet cat food does not need to be part of the staple diet, but many people do use it as a treat. I use a specific wet food as a treat twice per week because Fitzgerald loves it (so does my cat), and I...

It's the same formula I posted above. We can't give you an exact size because we don't know the dimensions of your cage. Measure the length of your length of your walls. Add the lengths together,...

Normal. Part of the reason it's helpful to trim nails in a bath is because they can't really ball up in water. Those videos you see on YouTube of a balled hedgie floating in water? That's a hedgie...

I think your vet can be trusted in this case. It really does sound like a classic case of stress and tummy troubles. Just keep your vet informed of any changes and check back for a possible...

As mentioned, the oatmeal is fine. It soothes dry skin. The oils nuttylover mentioned are good for moisturizing, too. The most common culprit for dry skin is drying soaps and shampoos and too...

For the record, I fully support the use of Pringles cans. But this may be because my husband's paycheck (and, thus, our family's financial situation) relies at least partly on Pringles being...

Not all hedgies take to litter training. Most do most of their elimination while running on their wheels; that's why under the wheel is a logical place for a litter pan. If you want them to eliminate...

Only kiln-dried pine. If you're going to use wood, aspen is a safer choice. Cedar is toxic. But all wood and paper bedding can harbor mites, so it should be frozen for 24-48 hours prior to being...

Revolution is available only through a prescription from a vet, as is Ivermectin. Aveeno Baby Wash is available in the baby section of most discount stores. It's just a baby wash that contains...
