    Hi, I am getting my baby hedgehog Quilbert from a breeder in one week, I was wondering if it would be okay to keep his cage in my laundry room.

    Prudence has always been prone to dry skin, but today I noticed something a little less normal. I had her dry, itchy skin investigated by a couple of vets. Two skin scrapes determined that mites were definitely not the cause, and a fungal/bacterial infection was also ruled out. They basically...

    Pictures included. Today when I woke Thorne up to eat, I had a black blanket in his hut and noticed it was covered in dry skin and some fur. I forgot to moisturize him after the last bath, then I remembered the next day. So the skin flakes are no surprise. But I am really concerned about the...
