    Hi everyone, I have a male hedgehog named Ozzy. He is 3 years old and I have noticed a rather large lump on his lower belly area. This lump had to have appeared in the last couple of days because I have not noticed or felt it. It is probably an inch and it is right above his testicles and below...

    I recently returned from a week long camping trip where I had a pet sitter taking care of my hedgie (just food and water). When I returned, I checked on her (but didn’t take her out, she was sleeping) noticed everything seemed ok, and went to take her out a couple days later. The second I...

    I play with my Zed every day, and last saturday i picked him up and he had a big pink pimple-looking bump on his face. I was just at a vet for a bacteria he had and the vet said they could look at it but it would be best to watch it first to see if it goes away on its own. I looked today and...
