  1. General Questions
    Hello! This is Remy, my baby! I've had him for a few months and he has settled into our home well. He still huffs quite a bit when woken up, but he has gotten better with my scent and me holding him. He doesn't mind the cats when he is let out of his cage to run around the living room. I've...
  2. Hedgehog Health FAQs and Important Topics
    I'm freaking out a bit.. i was gifted a hedgehog by a family member as she had gotten him more for the kids and they had lost interest - i was really excited to give him a happier life but the bonding process is really hard, and its resulted in him jumping out of my hands before i was able to...
  3. Cages
    So with my current set up with my hedgehog, Ive got her in a large plastic container, with her litter and wheel in the main compartment and her sleeping area off in another compartment. I made the set up for her when she was 7 weeks. She's almost a year old now and she's already starting to grow...
  4. Mites
    So now that I know that much, I plan on getting him to vet and everyone. But this thread is me asking what all should I do. Should I get rid of the wood houses? Will it effect me? Will it effect cats, dogs, etc. What are some precautions I should take? Do I need to do anything specific to the...
  5. General Questions
    So I know for sure that I want a hedgehog, I have played with one and held one before and they are just adorable. I live in Illinois and currently have a down payment for a hedgie with Morning Star Hedgehogs but it’s near the end of March and it keeps getting pushed further. I know Morning Star...
  6. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    How do you tell a hedgehog's age? I just bought my first hedgie 3 days ago and the seller told me that she's 3 months old. It kinda seem sketchy 'cause she's really really huge. I have seen pictures of 2 months old hedgehogs and they are so small! I tried measuring her and she's at least 5 inches.
  7. Rescue
    Hi! My name is Mia, and I need to rehome my adopted hedgie. Her name is Spook, and I adopted her back in June from a family who couldn't take care of her properly; they didn't even know she was a girl! Unfortunately, it's becoming too cold for me to keep her, as we don't have heating in our...
  8. Health
    Im freaking out guys. So i just got a hedgehog, and i love him soo much. anyway, i let him down to explore in my living room and he ended up crawling under my couch. I couldnt get him out, no matter how hard i tried, so i got behind my couch to move it a bit, thinking maybe he'd come out. well...
  9. Health
    Edit - I've just checked on her now and she has just pooped! But I'm still concerned that it took so long? I've had Stella for almost two months. She was born in February of this year. It's been about two days since she's peed or pooped. Yet she's been eating fine and drinking water. She was...
  10. General Questions
    Hi there! I'm a new hedgie owner (as of 2 months ago). I'm wondering if hedgies can attract any kinds of insects, more specifically stink bugs. I live in New England so it's snowy out, just wondering if it's a weather related issue or a hedgie thing (we've never had stink bugs before). Thanks!
  11. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    So I just got my hedgie about a week ago. She is one year old and I got her in a rehoming because her previous owners didn't have the time for her. She's pretty shy and doesn't care to be handled a lot (her previous owners "tried to handle her at least once a week"?!), but she is showing great...
  12. Heating
    Hey guys! I'm preparing everything I need for my new future baby hedgie (few more weeks!). So being a soon to be new hedgehog owner I'm obviously freaking out over any hibernation attempts by my hedgie! Especially with it being winter time and all. So the apartment I stay at has the AC/Heat unit...
  13. Eyes
    Hi guys. I've had my hedgehog Simba for about four years now. He's never had any health issues, but a couple weeks ago he developed this white circle on his eye. I haven't taken him to the vet, because he still runs around and acts perfectly normal. I'm starting to really get worried though...

  15. Diet and Nutrition

It was a mixture of different seeds and I also fed them VitaPrima Hedgehog Formula. I just made a trip to the vets office last night because while I was on...

  17. Mites
    I have no idea how my hedgehog milo would get mites but recently today hes been scratching behind his ear. Hes 2 months old so maybe a sign of quilling? He might just have a itch but he did it like 5 or 6 times when I had him out for a hour. Hes my first hedgehog sp I worry over the littlest...
