  1. Bleeding, Female
    I checked the forum before I posted, to see if anyone else had a case like mine, but I couldn’t find anything that matched mine. My hedgie is 4 years old, and started randomly bleeding when urinating. We (the vet and I) gave her UTI antibiotics which helped for a bit, but then it came back. 3...

    Hey everybody! I just got my hedge over the weekend. He is 2 years old, was a friend's roommate's pet, and I've known him all his life but he's just recently become mine. His last owner was a little... inattentive, and I took him more out of a desire to help him than a desire to have a...

    Hi all, First time owner! Loving my cute hedgie. I got her from a USDA(?) approved breeder, and he told me that it would be a good idea to let her settle into her new cage and to not handle her for a week, but in other places, I've read that it's good to pick up the hedgie every day to let her...

  7. Health
    Hi, I just recently got my hedgehog Petey about a week and a half ago and he had some neon greenish stool. I became worried so I took him to the vet and the vet took a fecal sample as well as did an examination on him. She gave me some meds and his poop went from diarrhea to a Darkish Foresty...

    Hi everybody! So I'm new to this. I just got my first hedgehog as a gift about 3 weeks ago. I named him Sonic! I was told he's 8 months old and is a male. I'm not exactly sure how to tell if that's correct though..Anyways, today I was holding him and noticed a little lump on his belly near his...
  9. Skin
    I apologize in advance, I didn't know what category I should post this in. I already have a post in "Bleeding, Male" under "Health" but I haven't gotten any replies from anyone saying that they've seen this before. The bumps keep popping up & at first they bleed, but then they turn white. I'm...

    GUYS HELP ME (T^T) I think my hedgie had her first miscarriage since it is her first time being pregnant. I didn't see anything strange inside her cage.

    Hello everyone! I'm Veronica, and I'm new to the forums. :grin: I'll be picking up my first ever hedgie on Tuesday, and I wanted to know if there's anything I should look for in my first spikey pet?

  14. General Questions
    Hi everyone! So today marks day two of our little baby coming home and I know I'm probably paranoid but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm worried because I've seen him eat, but I've never seen him drink and I'm concerned that because at the breeder he had a bottle, that he doesn't...
  15. General Questions
    Hi everyone!! We finally brought home our hedgie today! He was super friendly when we picked him out and super friendly today, but as expected his temperament has changed since he's gotten to a new environment. He spent all day asleep under the fleece pieces in his igloo, but now it's 1AM, the...
  16. Housing & Accessories
    So today when we went to the breeder, he suggested that since our hedgie has been living in pine shavings and just doing his business where he pleases that even thought we're using a fleece liner, we should fill the litter pan with pine shavings and that might help in the training process. My...

    We haven't got all the pieces yet but this is what our general setup is going to be (we bring him home in a week!!). We're going to cut the tupperware into an igloo shape and sew fleece around it and the tupperware lid is the stand in for the wheel/litter box. Is this enough room for a...
  18. Wheels
    Hi everyone! I'm trying to do as much research as possible before getting a hedgehog and as I'm sure you guys have experienced there is a lot of conflicting information out there. I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't put a wheel in the new hedgie's cage for the first couple of days...
