So long story short. My male hedgehog is not male, and gave birth in her travel cage when we were traveling. I have left momma and crew alone, but I fear once everyone starts moving more they’ll end up walking through each others waste and there isn’t a ton of room for them to explore. I’ve...

Hi all, Looking for advise for my brand new hedgie. I adopted 2 females on Saturday, and 6 days later one has giving birth in her cage. Did not know she was pregnant and breeder was shocked by it as well. My hedgie has been friendly and playful, eats well. Water intake is not great however she...

I recently separated my hedgehog from her babies yesterday (they are all boys) and now she is acting weird. She started biting me when I try to interact with her, it doesn’t look like she has been eating or drinking much, and I haven’t seen any poop in her cage. She seems to be smelling around...

My hoglets are now 20 days old and I am preparing my self for the weaning process. I am aware I won't really have to do much besides the recommended crushing of kibble to make it easier for them to eat. I have been talking with a local breeder and he recommended that I remove the hoglets at 28...

I don't mean to be a bother on the forums... But Yue's runty passed away yesterday at 4 weeks old and it's got me quite neurotic about the other two. Both are strong and fluffy at 4 weeks and a little bit, and they're starting to chow out of mommy's food bowl (and anointing with the food...

Hello ! Found this awesome website while researching about caring for hoglets. i'm currently fostering 3 4 week old european hoglets back to health to re release in a safe area where a lot of other rehabilitated hedgies have been released before. unfortunately theyre considered a pest here in...

Surprise, another post from me again. With more hoglet questions. So we are approaching the two week old mark. I can tell the hoglets are doing well as I hear the occasional squeak. A few days ago I even witnessed Shaymin feeding them while I was changing her food. They look big and healthy...

I'm posting on here constantly because, not going to lie, I'm freaking out every moment that my hedgehog is munching on her hoglets or they are being hurt. I get the only thing/best thing that I can do is leave them be with the mommy and hope for the best but I'm so worried! I'm assuming it's...

15 days ago my hedgie had a baby hoglet. How long do I need to wait until I can bathe the mom??

I'll be keeping one of my hedgies babies as my own and one until my boyfriend is here to get his baby. We both each want to keep a girl ( but idk what genders the hoglets are yet ), but I was just wondering when I should take the two girls out of the mom's cage so it isn 't too cramped. The...

I want to switch my hedgie's food from Purina Pro Plan Savor Adult Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Cat Food to Natural Balance Original Ultra Whole Body Health Cat Food because it seems a lot healthier than the one I'm feeding her now. But she just gave birth to four hoglets. When should I start...

Some of my hedgies babies ( four days old ) are pretty pink, and others are a lot darker. I'm just curious if that has to do with what color they will be or what it means!

I keep hearing my hedgie piper, who is a new mother to four little hoglets, messing with her nest box. She keeps like digging at the cage and it was concerning me because the hoglets were in there. I carefully lifted the nest box up to see where the babies were, and theres was a hole in the...
