    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.

  10. Heating
    Just a few minutes ago, I heard a pretty distinct 'pop!' noise from my hedgehog's cage. I'm not sure how else to describe it other than I've heard similar sounds from normal light bulbs, but the one I just heard was louder and more metallic. I use two heat lamps for her, one with a 60-watt...

    Update: After doing some digging on various threads here, I've settled on a Fluker's Repta-Clamp lamp. To anyone else looking for a heat lamp, this is their shop on Amazon (though in .ca, not .com) The heat lamp I have can't keep up with how cold the nights here get and has been slowly burning...

  16. Respiratory Infections
    Hi I have an almost 4 year old hedgehog and he hasn’t been eating for about 4 days and not drinking much. One of his eyes is red with crusties and his nose is dry and crusty too.

    Hi, today I was holding my 3 year old female hedgehog Leni, when I noticed she had an unusual bump on her leg after she had pooped. I think it might’ve appeared overnight because yesterday I was playing with her and I hadn’t seen anything out of the ordinary. I have no idea what it is or what it...
