    Recently my hedgehog Dizzy’s health has been decreasing. She’s been having bloody stools and she’s becoming less and less active. Our vet had us sample her stool, and he told us we can only watch and wait. She’s only started losing her energy after the visit. She’s started to not touch her food...
  3. Fecal & Intestinal issues
    I’m really worried about my 3 year old male hedgehog. About a week ago I noticed that he had stopped eating and after two days of him not eating, he stopped running around and acted lethargic too. I took him out of his cage and he was super cold so I warmed him up with my hands and turned on his...

    My poor lil Britney started sneezing a little this morning 🥺 She doesn't have any snot bubbles, she hasn't been licking her nose, and her nose doesn't seem more wet than usual. Her behavior is still the same, too. I made an appt for this weekend (that's the soonest she can be seen). I want her...

    My little guy, Ali (3 y.o.), has started squeaking when I pick him up. I thought he might've been congested or have a possible URI, but he hasn't been sneezing much and when I hold him close to listen to him breathe I don't hear wheezing. He hasn't been drinking much water at all the past few...

    Hey there, So my hedgehog was diagnosed with oral cancer on the lower jaw the other day. The vet says the tumor is most likely an aggressive type of cancer, and it has already started to affect his teeth and jaw. I’ve been looking through all the forms and have learned that oral cancer is one of...

    Hi everyone, I have a 3.5 year old prickle baby and I was playing with him today and noticed that above his left eye on his head, he has a rather large lump about the size of a pea. It's hidden beneath his quills and I only noticed it when he squished his head out of my overall pocket because...

    I'm not sure how long it has been there but only noticed it these past 3 days. At first I thought it was poop but it's become very noticeable. The lump is hard and it's around 2 cm big situated right next to his belly specifically left of his belly when flipped. We're taking him to the vet...

    Hey guys! I'm worried about my 3 year old hedgehog, Phoebe. She started losing quills, hair and shedding skin flakes like crazy about two months ago. I gave her a sulfur lime bath (worked previously in the past) but it didn't help her. After a couple oatmeal baths and oils I took her to her vet...

    My baby boy Bolt is about 8 months old and I've had him for just over five months! When I first got him, I was living at home and was initially very paranoid about a URI because he seemed to be sneezing and licking his nose a lot. After a few weeks, the sneezing subsided but he kept licking his...

  15. Hedgehog Personality and Behaviour
    Hi, I have a 7 month old male hedgehog who did something I've never seen him do, and it worried me a little bit. He was walking around, but then stopped to stretched out his front legs and his back legs, all the way until he was laying completely flat for a split second, then got back up and...

    Hello! I've posted here once before and it helped out a lot. Previously, Biscuit was having issues that required exploratory surgery. They discovered that her ovaries had calcified and needed to be removed. That was back in October/Novemberish, and she has since recovered. For the past month...

    Hi all, My Quilly was acting weird the last week or two, and I thought it was because he didn't have a light schedule for 2 days - the light timer was broken and I didn't know it. Yesterday I brought him to the exotic vet, and they kept him overnight. Nothing was truly obvious, until they were...

    I need help! I've had a hedgehod for about a month and a half and a few weeks ago I noticed blood stains around her cage. When I gave her a bath, I noticed it was coming from her underside, so I assumed it was coming from her vagina. I called a few vets offices and none could give me a straight...
