    Hi All, This is my first personal post on here. I love this community and reading all of the helpful responses…so here it goes. We have a male hedgehog, Herbert, who will be 2 in November. The last 2 days or so we have noticed that he has not been acting himself. I really got concerned when I...

    Hi! I took my little Martie to the vet last week and he was unsure if she had mites or a skin infection so he's treating her for both. She had one dose of Revolution and then he also had clotrimazole drops to put on her skin. It's been 2.5 weeks and now her skin is extremely flaky. Before...

    Hello. My 2 year old hedgehog gave birth to a 6 hoglet litter on October 11th. One was stillborn and sadly, two died due to lack of nutrition. Apon the litter, a little girl was abandoned by her mother and is most likely disabled (determined by eye, not confirmed by vet). I've been bottlefeeding...

    Hey folks! I'm super new here, and my hedgie only arrived here a day ago. It's his first night here and I wanted to give him a close look. I noticed this seemingly irritated spot on the forehead (pictures). Is this possibly just part of quilling (He's 12 weeks old now) as it looks like they...

    Hi everyone, My 5 month old Mangosteen has had itchy skin since I got her (when she was 6 weeks old), which I thought was just because she was quilling. She stopped quilling about 2-3 weeks ago, but is still very itchy (scratches every few steps). The skin behind her ear is red and doesn't have...

    Hello! I am a Pedigreed Hedgehog Breeder from Canada. I recently had a litter of babies, one of which I have had to hold back from her adopter (who is aware of everything), due to a skin condition that I cannot get a diagnosis for. If anybody has experienced anything similar, I would really...

    Our Sonic has this lump behind his ear. It’s a whiteish color and you can see what I assume are little pink veins. I called the vet but they don’t work on hedgehogs very often and would have to put him to sleep just to look at it. He’s 4.5 years old so we’re nervous to do that. He’s eating and...

    Hi everyone, I have had my hedgehog for about a year and 2 months now. since I've had her I've been using this as my source for any problems we encounter or whether she can eat certain types of food. The last time I asked a question there weren't any replies so I hope someone can answer this as...

    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...

    I got my little buddy, Ayumi, 2 days ago. He looked healthy (or what i could call healthy since i had never seen a hedgehog) but yesterday i noticed this on his skin: (bad pic might add another one later) his skin seems to be open and it looks like when you get a ingrown hair? how i can help...

    Beatrix has been losing a lot of quills and hair everyday each time she moves. When I first noticed it I took her to the vet and the vet checked for mites but couldn't see any under the microscope, but still gave me 2 treatments for mites for her anyways. She also gave me an anti-fungal shampoo...

    I just found this spot on my hedgehog; I just took her to the vet for her squinty eye and mites a couple days ago on Thursday. I was given ofloxacin for her eye scratch and revolution for her mites (i don't know if either of these meds could have contributed so I'm including them). So she has...

    I adopted a severely neglected Hedgie and have been trying to get him back to health. While giving him a bath, I noticed a red lump on his skin and saw that it had something sticking out of it and was bleeding! He had mites, so is it a product of the infestation? (A quill is also growing out of it)

    I got my hedgehog about 3 weeks ago. She was only 4/5 weeks old so I know she was young when I got her. Recently she has started quilling and I see new quills coming up but Im little concerned because she has shed all of her hair on her belly. Is that normal? so they just shed and regrow? I...

    Quilliam seems to have a pink bump under his chin that I just noticed today. My first thought was that it could be a mole because it kind of does look like there is a long hair coming from it that doesn't match his other hair on his under side. But also it could be something worse? He's still a...

    My hedgehog named Pickle has been losing fur recently. Her fur is very patchy, and it used to not be this bad. Her skin is also very dry and flaky, even though I mix Vitamin E oil into her bath water. She also has yellow discharge coming from her ears. She doesn't appear to be losing a lot of...
