  1. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    Hello! I got a hedgie about a week ago (he's 7-weeks-old) and I'm concerned about the way he's acting. When I take him out of his cage, he doesn't huff, puff or ball up, but he is somewhat skittish. He either sits and rotates to sniff around, sits in my lap, looking around, or takes tiny...
  2. General Questions
    A breeder in my area (in fact the only breeder in my entire province) has some baby boys ready to go to new homes. As I've been thinking about getting another little ouch mouse for a while this seemed like a good opportunity, however, I have only cared for a female hedgie before. Those who have...

    Around a week ago one of my baby hoglets (5 weeks old) was accidentally pushed by mom off a ledge. Now, we noticed that he isn't using his back legs! Is there any way to treat this? We were planning to sell him soon but he is possibly disabled now and I don't know what to do. Is there any way I...

    Hi all! Looking for some advice. Some background information: I rescued a female hedgehog who (unbeknownst to me) was pregnant. I had recently put down my 4 year old hedgie and was in the process of purchasing new cage liners. When I rescued the new girl, I was using unscented puppy pads...

    My 2 year old hedgehog gave birth to a 6 hoglet litter, sadly only two survived. Both of the baby hoglets are very healthy and get the same nutrition. Although, one of the two's back legs won't work properly! He crawls instead of walking, by using his legs as side support instead of main...

    Hello. My 2 year old hedgehog gave birth to a 6 hoglet litter on October 11th. One was stillborn and sadly, two died due to lack of nutrition. Apon the litter, a little girl was abandoned by her mother and is most likely disabled (determined by eye, not confirmed by vet). I've been bottlefeeding...

    About three days ago my hedgehog who was pregnant had a large stillborn baby. Today she had three more, all stillborn from what i can tell. Should i be worried about her having a litter of all stillborn babies? From what i know this is her first litter, I rescued her about a month ago. I am...
  11. Hibernation
    Hello! So, I've had a very interesting two weeks with my new hedgehog, Dr. Spike. If you're interested in all the details, I made this post on reddit one week ago about a hedgehog I got last Sunday unexpectedly giving birth, and this reddit post a few hours ago about the current situation...

    So I just got my hedge hog yesterday morning. Shes very small and was just born 2 months and 4 days ago. I gave her the cat food the breeder gave me of what her and the other hedgehogs have been eating. I counted out how many was in her bowl before nighttime, assuming she would go and eat and...
  13. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    I know all Hedgehog personalities differ, but I have had Lily for 6 months and every time I take her out it's like the same process and she never gets acclimated: she spends all her time huffing, absolutely despises my presence and tries endlessly to get away back toward her enclosure (I let her...
  14. Cages
    Since my last post I've done some more research and observed the forums, so I ditched the 2 bin set up I was going to use. I couldn't find a convenient way to heat it, and it seemed too small. I now have a 2x2 grid C&C cage! I just got done putting everything in order. All I need is the heating...

    Hi all! My name is Alena. I took home my sweet girl Juniper Berry on Saturday. She was born 2/5/14 so she is just 7 weeks old. She already loves to explore her cage and play on her wheel at night. Me and my boyfriend are trying to handle her only to a minimum of about 45 minutes per night. Last...
  16. Breeding & Babies Help
    Hello! My hedgehog just had four babies (from what I can tell) earlier than we had expected. She lives with her sister and they get along well. Is it okay to keep the sister in the same cage now that the babies are born or should we move her temporarily until the babies are a certain age where...
  17. Diet and Nutrition
    When I got Basch for Christmas, my mother-in-law gave me a bag of Spike's Ultra that she had gotten from the breeder. I had never used it before, but since part of the deal was to use this food first or the refund (in case he got very sick or died) was void, that's what I've been giving him. I'm...
  18. General Questions
    Hi! I just got my baby boy (two months old today) yesterday, and I'm really nervous about scaring him in his first few days here. He is definitely far less confident than he was at the breeder's, but I know that that's normal at first. Yesterday I took him out in the evening and he sniffed...

    Hey everyone, I got my first hedgehog, Hercules, yesterday from a local breeder and am attempting to finalize everything he needs. Upon recommendation from the breeder, I have been using a organic high quality cat food that Herc seems to love (or he was just very hungry!) and gave him some...
