Re: HELP! quill loss! can someone post a photo of a bulb on a quill? Hayden is still losing a lot of quills (but growing lots of new ones) and I have no idea what the bulb on the quill should look like? I'd really appreciate it ![]() ![]() |

Re: HELP! quill loss! Yes a bulb less quill is a good indication of mites, on the other hand, just because the quill does have the bulb at the end, doesn't mean the hedgehog is mite free. |

Re: HELP! quill loss! I actually just talked to Bryan about this, and he said that a bulb-less quill IS, in fact, one indication (of many) of mites. I also asked him if a bulb-less quill could mean something internal is going on, to which he replied probably not-- bulb-less quills are usually an indication of something happening on the outside (injury, mites, etc.). The scratch test is still the better method, in my opinion... Sorry for any confusion-- I hope this cleared it up a little. If not, I hope it made you come up with more questions ![]() |

Re: HELP! quill loss! Whether the lost quills have the ball on the end or not, has little indication as to whether the hedgie has mites or not... |

Re: HELP! quill loss! I tried once with the olive oil on water, but Maiche didn't like it much. And maybe it was due to her ending up all yellow. I may have overdone the dose a bit.... |

Re: HELP! quill loss! No problem! I'm glad it helped =) If you want to combat the dry skin, add a drop of flaxseed oil in her food once or twice a week and/or put some olive oil in her baths (although, one of my guys will drink the bath water if I put olive oil in it ![]() |
