    Hi! So I have an adorable 3-year-old hedgie that I love but lately, she has been acting a bit weird. So last night (around 7 pm) I hear her sneezing. She sneezed 4-5 times and then stopped. Which I thought was weird then I hear her sneezing again 4-5 times and then she stops. So I check on her...

    Hello. I have an african hedgehog (female) that sneezes with snot for 2 weeks now. I am in Russia and vet help for hedgehogs here is weak, so I don't know where else to ask. I've been to vet 2 weeks ago, and hedgehog was diagnosed with bloating, bronchitis, rhinitis. I gave her the prescribed...

    Today is Britney's last day of antibiotics and drumroll.... The sneezing and congestion is gone! 🎉🎉🎉😭 The vet visit was expensive but totally worth it. She's back to her normal, hyperactive, sweet, curious self! 🦔 Sidenote: we cleaned out her entire cage everyday that she was sick to help...

    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 is a sleep talker and sneezes when he's excited! 😪🤧 Recently I've moved to college with my hedgehog Wilbur (male, African Pygmy, about 2 years old). Before this he and I did share a room (his pen was in my room) but he was very quiet! Only every so often he'd 'talk' in his sleep...

    Right, right, so, it's been a while. I'll make the explanation short so I can get to the important stuff. Shortly after Peppers death mom wanted to get another hedgehog; I was slightly opposed to this, especially because of the expenses and if we could give the new hedgehog proper vet care. (I...

    several days ago alfred stopped eating as much, he's still eating but not as much as usual; he only ate a bit of his cat food and chicken, he ignored all his veggies and fruits. but then yesterday hes started sneezing and i think hes wheezing, and i think his nose is running because i put him on...

    Hello all! I'm brand spanking new to the hedgehog world (as in just got 5 week old baby Monty on 3 days ago) so I have lots of new mom anxiety! I've had Monty for a very short time (see above) but I noticed that she makes this weird snuffling sound like she's trying to blow something out of...

    Quilliam has been sneezing more recently. He doesn't seem bothered by it and he still seems like a happy hedgie. He has no other symptoms, he's eating and pooping fine, still has lots of energy for playtime, and if anything he's friendlier and more social than ever. He's about 7 and a half...
  10. WHS (Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome)
    Can anyone help me? I have no idea what's going on with him. He's just over a year old. And he can barely walk. He will no longer eat dried food, and even the food I do feed him, has to be put right next to him or hand fed. He falls to the side occasionall, and he just won't get back up. I also...

    Hi there! This is my first post on the forum. I'm very happy something like this exists, it has already been so helpful! I just got my little boy Charlie a week ago. He is 8 weeks old. When I first got him he was sneezing and licking his nose a lot, also having green poops. I assumed it was...

    Hey all, So I'm the mom of lil Chloe, who I'm guessing is a bit over 2 years old at this point. She's had a URI before, about a year to a year and a half ago, and had crust on her nose and we caught on pretty quickly that she wasn't doing well. Got her on antibiotics and she was back to her...

    Hey everyone! I just got my first hedgehog, Holden, and I just have a few basic questions. It's 1pm here and she's sleeping. Whenever she goes to sleep, she burrows under all of her bedding so she's completely covered. Is that normal? She also makes these sneezing-like sounds, but they could...

    Hi, my sister's hedgehog (mentioned in a different thread) has had symptoms of a URI. We are taking her into a vet on Monday, and we were wondering what we can do until then. Thanks.

    I have a hedgehog named Calvin. In January, he was sneezing and had visible snot coming from his nose. I took him to the vet. They gave him medication, which didn't help much, but he slowly got better. He is now sneezing(multiple times in a row continuously) and congested again. What should I...

    Little Mira is about 4 months old and the past week I noticed her licking her nose very frequently and occasionally doing a little sneeze (about once or twice a day.) To be on the safe side, I took her to the vet. Though the vet said she could see exotic pets, she told me when I got there that...

    I have a 3 month old hedgehog. Recently, he has been sneezing a little bit, his nose is slightly running, and he is constantly licking the air, his nose, and me. Whenever I hold him he licks me nonstop. When I first got him at 6 weeks he did something similar and I took him to the vet. the vet...

    My hedgehog escaped and I found him deep in fiberglass insulation and he has been sneezing a lot since then! I'm worried about it being in his airway. I have given him a bath. Is there anything else I can do?:confused:

    Here's a little background on Quilbur: She is about 10 months old. She is currently doing some light quilling, and I've given her two oatmeal baths in the past month and a half for her (I didn't want to overdo it and cause more damage to her skin). I also treat her with Vitamin E drops once a...

    Hi! I got my little guy a week ago :) I've noticed today he's been sneezing a lot. But doesn't seem to have a runny nose or eyes... He's on fleece liners and he's pretty clean so I haven't washed the liners yet (he's had those only a week) This is my first hedgie and I'm a little worried about...
