    (I can't include a video file so I uploaded it to this link instead. Be sure to listen to audio of the video) My hedgehog Diancie recently started licking her lips constantly, like she has something in her mouth, especially when I wake her up to spend time with me. I feared it was an oral...

    So my hedgehog, sprinkles has this weird white bump on her back leg and this thing just came out of no where. She is eating and pooping but I’m terrified of it being something more. Can someone tell me what to do or what is this because I love her and she is only 1 and half years old.

  4. Breeding & Babies Help
    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...
  5. Fecal & Intestinal issues
    I guess this is more of an update post than an "advice needed" post, but Pebbles did not poop last night. Not on her wheel, not below it, not in any of her hideys. Shes been taking very small amounts of laxatives each night (called Lactulose) from the vet, and it hasn't zmade much of a...
  6. Bleeding, Female
    I know I just made a post, but I guess I'm desperately clinging to any sort of hope that this isn't uterine cancer and instead a really bad UTI or something. I've been monitoring the amount of blood left underneath Pebbles's wheel since I took her to the vet. I should note the vet was massaging...

    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...

    Pebbles's skin has always been on the drier side but lately it seems to be getting worse and worse. I'm fairly certain it's not mites though, just the combined effect of various things. For instance, the humidity in her cage sits at about 20-30% on average but I don't know how to keep that...

    Hi, I am having a few concerns regarding my hedgehog of 4-5 years. He has never had these issues before, but he has recently lost a lot of weight (within 2-3 months) and is not gaining it back. I've been feeding him a mixture of Blue Buffalo Adult Dry Cat Food and Purina Beyond Simply Dry Cat...

    My hedgehog Otis is about 3 years old now and for about a month he hasn’t run on his wheel. He eats his food usually except for every once in a while but he’ll always finish it the next day, and besides the no running everything else seems fine. He drinks water and his feet are clean and not...

    My Hedgie is 2 months old and he seems to be scratching a lot. Today when I was playing with him I found a tiny wee black bug on him... I'm guessing it's mites but I could only see that one I found. He also looks to have a bit of a swollen bum kinda like some hamster get? If anyone could explain...

    My guy has some tattered ears an have read on here previously vitamin E oil applied to the outside of the ears can help. I bought the softgel capsules of vitamin E from the drugstore and just wanted to make sure those were ok to use. I figure they should be safe since you can do the same with...

    I have a problem with getting my hedgehog to eat treats I put in his cage. I try out new foods such as strawberries, asparagus, cilantro, bananas, even cilantro and lettuce. I usually set them in a separate dish next to his dry Spike's food, but when I check in the morning he doesn't appear to...

    Hi everyone! So a few days ago I became the new owner of a 1 year old hedgehog that I've named Peanut Quill. He is the cutest little thing, and I love him so much, but ever since I got him we've had nothing but problems. The first thing is, he's pretty grumpy. I try waking him at all...

    Hello all, I have a three year-old African Pygmy Hedgehog, named Vega. He is currently battling Hepatitis, but the prognosis is good. He'll likely be over the Hepatitis soon. What he won't be rid of is the motor impairment it has caused with his back legs. They have considerably weakened, and...

    I have a 2 year old rescue hedgie named Hedgepig. Recently she has stopped using her wheel and is refusing to come out of her hide at night. Just over a week ago (around bonfire night) we had an emergancy out of hours visit to the vet. When I picked her up to have her nightly cuddles she was...

    So my little Nico is just about to turn 5 months old. The last few nights I've noticed on her cage liner little spots that I suspected were vomit. Night before last I had my suspicions confirmed as she actually threw up a little bit while I had her out for her nightly bonding session. She...

    Hi all, My hedgehog is about 8 months old and, according to the vet, extremely healthy and social. He's frequently around new people and is comfortable interacting with them (for a hedgehog). The issue I'm having is that very suddenly, in the last week, he's become a little too friendly- I saw...

    I just bought a female hedgehog yesterday! She is 10 weeks old and very sweet. I've been feeding her cat food as I read hedgehog food is crap. She's been eating it fine but I can't tell if she's drinking her water out of a bowl, and I put mealworms in her food dish and she hasn't noticed. She...
