    Hi all! I’m looking to take in a hedgehog that’s up for adoption/in a less than ideal living situation. I feel confident about my ability to provide a good cage (ferret nation), a good wheel, proper hides, proper heating, high quality cat food, vet bills, etc. However, the one thing that...

    I have learned a lot about the best types of live insects to feed hedgies, but I am having a hard time learning what size of insects to feed. For example, you can buy roaches and crickets in all sorts of sizes, from less than 0.25" to over 1". BSFL come in sizes between 0.25-0.75". Even other...

    Hi, everyone, I just wanted to ask if you all have any recommendations for cat food mix.

    Hey guys, I am a hedgehog owner from Hong Kong. My hedgehog is a very picky eater that he didn't like most commercial cat food. I've tried all the commercial cat food or hedgehog food before. (When I say all, I DO mean it ALL!!! )In the end, I figured out the reason behind when i read enough...

    Hello, I was recently looking into the WholeHearted Grain Free Chicken Formula Dry Cat Food. I read on a previous forum that Cat Food should be around 30% Protein and 12% Fat. Well, the Protein percentage is at about 32% and the Fat is at 12% so I figured that looked alright. The Ingredients...

    I've seen many hedgehog owners here in Japan on Instagram feed their hedgies honey worms as treats and they go crazy for them! :D so I'd like to get my little guy some but just wanted to check their nutritional value / make sure they're safe to give but haven't had much luck when searching and...

    I recently had to take my 2 y/o hedgie Morrison to the vet because I noticed that he was tilting his head to the right, which I read could be caused by an inner ear infection. My veterinarian checked him out and gave me an oral antibiotic to give him for the next couple weeks for the infection...

    I keep trying my new baby hedgie (6 weeks old) on fruits and veggies and cooked meats (apple, peach, strawberry, cucumber, bell pepper, cooked chicken and hamburger meat etc etc) and she won't eat any of it. She may have taken a bite of the chicken but she wasn't keen on any of it. All she likes...

    So my 4 month old hedgehog Pokey had been eating purina naturals since I got her, which wasn't the best for her (corn meal, etc) so I slowly transitioned her into a mix of chicken soup for the cat lovers soul and solid gold (midnight prowl) which she loved at first. Then I noticed that she had...

    I am a first time hedgehog owner and am very patiently waiting the arrival of my baby who was just born last Thursday. I have been searching this forum for months now and I asked myself a question today that I have yet to read about. Why do people use wet cat food and not wet dog food? I have...

    I just got my Rosie three weeks ago. Her appetite has been hit and miss. We had a little scare where she was constipated and not eating or drinking where we needed to syringe feed her both water and foods such as pumpkin to get things moving. Now, she has recently been introduced to mealworms...
