    Hello. New guy here. I'm not very familiar with hedgehogs so I'd be really grateful for any advice.

  11. Diet and Nutrition
    Hi everyone! I had heard from someone that feeding baby hedgehogs mealworms is bad because they're too fattening. I'm pretty sure this is false, but I just wanted to make sure. I know that insects are high in fat, but they should have some insects, yes? If someone can debunk this for me then...

    Hello everyone, I am planning my last litter with my female hedgehog. I got a beautiful male hedgehog from a experienced breeder to use.

    My hedgehog gave birth approximately 3 weeks ago. The babies have their eyes open and are fully developed, minus their small size. The mom rolled around in her poop last night and now has it all in her spikes. Can I give her a bath? Or do I need to wait until the babies are gone? I hate to see...
