  1. Fecal & Intestinal issues
    i posted this on a different thread but i’ll post it here too just in case. Title says it all, I was outside in the grass just now and when I wasn’t looking my hedgehog Stella started eating what I have to assume is feces from another animal (it definitely wasn’t hers). I don’t know how I...

    Title says it all, I was outside in the grass just now and when I wasn’t looking my hedgehog Stella started eating what I have to assume is feces from another animal (it definitely wasn’t hers). I don’t know how I didn’t see the poop there from the beginning, but as soon as I saw her eating it I...

    Hi! I recently adopted a hedgehog from someone and renamed her Yuzu. Yuzu is 3 years old and she has a wound on her leg. She also has some strong odor coming from her crotch/vulva with it appearing inflamed / slightly swollen and I had pointed these two out to the vet. The vet had prescribed...

    I don't feel like I am overthinking it but I might possibly be. My hedgehog Lea is really active and seems completely okay but I am worried if she is eating or not I keep cleaning green poop off her wheel and cleaning out her litter box but most of the poop is green and I know it can be caused...
  5. Teeth & mouth issues
    I was hoping someone could help me with this? My heggie’s mouth has been foaming frequently for some reason lately, everything i’ve found online has said it’s anointing but she isn’t spreading it on her quills and there aren’t any new scents around her. It seems to happen the most when she’s...

    i’ve been very sleep deprived and overworked this week. I was doing Harrington’s weekly cage deep clean, and had her on the ground next to me rolled up in her sac and some blankets. I was filling her litter pan when I went to sit down, and realized after 30 seconds that I had just sat down...

    Hello, My hedgie boy has had a red lump on his leg for about a month or so. I did take him to the vet to get him examined and they couldn't tell if the bump was cancerous. They said it could be cancer or it could be a wart. They gave me two options. I can have it surgically removed, which can...

    Hey folks! I'm super new here, and my hedgie only arrived here a day ago. It's his first night here and I wanted to give him a close look. I noticed this seemingly irritated spot on the forehead (pictures). Is this possibly just part of quilling (He's 12 weeks old now) as it looks like they...

    Before you get mad, this is my sister's hedgehog. I only started "taking care" of her because my sister only loved her for about a few days until she got bored. Right now, she's aggressively ramming into things, sniffing much more than usual around me and extremely erratic. She's also hissing a...

    Hi everyone! When I was washing my 5 year old hedgehog Nimbus this evening, I noticed a bump on the upper part of one of his front legs that I hadn’t seen before. I had last given him a full bath and nail trimming about three weeks ago (he doesn’t get very dirty super quickly as he’s gotten...

    hello friends! I apologize that this might be long, however, I feel that it'll give you a better picture of the situation. Two weeks ago, my family got my little brother a hedgehog named Pinecone from a breeder and we all fell in love with her. My brother started complaining that I was getting...

    Hey guys so Bahdi just turned 6 last month and he has always been a fairly healthy hedgehog. Recently though I’ve discovered a small hard bump on his chest about the size of a pea. I didn’t think much of it just knew I had to keep an eye on it. Even more recently though the same bump has now...

    Part of my morning routine is checking on Pebbles, making sure she isn't trying to hibernate or that there's no blood in her cage or anything else unusual. So as you can imagine, I was pretty worried when there was food left in her bowl. A quick check of her toys shows that she didn't eat any of...

    Hi all! So I noticed this bump on my Reggie’s lower jaw a couple weeks ago, not really thinking too much of it. But now it looks like it’s gotten bigger and I’m concerned. He has an appointment with the vet February 2nd. Is there anything I can do for him in the meantime?? I don’t know if it’s...

    hi! a few nights ago i was cleaning my hedgehogs cage and found a small bit of slimy poop with a tiny bit of blood. he had been a little lethargic for a few days before but he’s been very active since i found it and his poop is normal. could it have been constipation or something more serious?

    Hello all! I'm a hedgehog parent to a 5 year old so far healthy male hedgehog. A week ago I traveled with my hedgie to stay with a friend over the holidays and as expected with hedgehogs he hasn't been as active due to settling down in the new environment. But now it's been a week and my baby...

    My 4 month old quillpig has had anemic poops since I've gotten her and, at first, I thought it was normal for hoglets especially with the stress of a new home and everything, but it still hasn't gotten any better. [Could it possibly be her diet? I'm feeding her Vitakraft Vitasmart Hedgehog...
