    Hello, this is Luna. In September she'll be 4 years old. I have been part of the community for a long time to exchange information and I never participate because nothing ever happens to her that I have to tell, she is super active, she eats, drinks and does poop and pee herself perfectly. In...
  2. Feet and legs
    This little lady keeps getting sores on her feet. My husband and I do our best to wash her feet on a regular basis and we have trimmed her toenails as they curl, so they don’t punctured her foot pads. This is the worst I’ve ever seen her foot become. It is sore and swollen and really red. We try...
  3. Feet and legs
    I didn't check my hedgehog back legs for about 3 days. I believe a hair got inside her enclosure and wrapped really badly on her back leg. After she got tired I manage to cut with an x-acto knife the hairs. She bleed a little and had her little paw swollen because of the hair being so tight. I...

    I’ve had my boy Zuko for a little over 2 months now and I’m not sure of his exact age but I think he is around 6 months old. I noticed a few days ago that his penis looked red and bigger than usual. When I did research I thought that it was the result of hedgie “boy time” but it seems that it is...
  5. Teeth & mouth issues
    one of my hedgehogs has developed a swollen cheek on her right side :( i discovered it 2 nights ago and just checked on her this morning and it seems to have gotten a tiny bit bigger. she’s still eating and drinking and being her same self but after reading up a bunch i’m worried it could be a...
  6. Feet and legs
    Once I caught Reggie sleeping on her right side with her two left legs sticking up in the air at a 45 degree angle. As soon as I lifted up the blanket she immediately curled up, embarrassed. What a weirdo. So last night when I saw she had a leg up I thought it was just silly! But after I took...
  7. Teeth & mouth issues
    My little Belle is around 1.5 years old and it came to my attention, tonight, that one side of her lip seems to be a little swollen? I'm posting here to see if anyone has dealt with something similar. Before this though I have noticed that she has been losing teeth. In total she has lost 3, her...

    Hello, this is my first post, I just got back from vacation that lasted a full month, I had to leave my hedgehog at home with my mother. She hadn't taken him out every single day like I do (Maybe every 2-4 days), but now that I am home, I noticed his eye is bigger, red around it, and the eye is...
  9. Skin
    Hi guys, I recently came back from a vacation to find my hedgehog's feet and legs were swollen, skin dry and peeling, and nails looked discolored. I also noticed her ears were hardened at the tips and darker. I gave her an oatmeal bath to soothe her skin and realized she was losing a lot of...

  11. Feet and legs
    Hi everybody, I just recently found this large hard swollen bump near my hedgehogs right leg while bathing her. I'm very concerned and can't call the vet until tomorrow, she's always been healthy, eats alot, drinks alot, runs her wheel, maybe she hurt herself on the wheel? Can anyone help me...
  12. Feet and legs
    I had been noticing one of Ed's toes was swollen with what appeared to be dried blood near his nail for a couple of weeks and kept an eye on it. I tried taking his wheel out to see if this improved swelling, but when I didn't see results, I took him to the vet. He has been on an antibiotic...
  13. Feet and legs
    I just noticed what look's like an infected toe/toenail on Mali's back foot today when I went to cut her nails. I haven't checked her feet in a week or so, so not sure how long it's been. She isn't having any trouble running, though, and doesn't seem to favor it at all. I gave her a long foot...

    Hello. My hedgehog Riceball is two years ten weeks old. I gave him a bath yesterday and I noticed his testicles seems slightly enlarged. I don't know if I'm just seeing things (I'm hyper paranoid when it comes to my hedgie) but they seem bigger than usual, and slightly red. I asked my bf for a...
  15. Feet and legs
    Hey guys, first post. I've had Watson for almost 3 years now and he's been one of the best pets I could ever have. I noticed this weekend that one of his little fingers was really swollen. It doesn't seem to bug him too much, but he didn't eat near as much as he normally does. I attached the...

    I just got my little benny out of his cage and underneath his little arm is a red swollen patch! I'm really worried it's really red and it seems like he is in pain. Please help! Is this normal? And what should I do to help him?

    Hi Hedgie fam! Sorry for being M.I.A. for the past month or two! Just a quick update: Wonton is doing great - still her sassy and bratty self, and we got a new addition to our family! Twinkie is the name, and she is a gorgeous and tiny little 4-months-old hedgie. :smile: I got Twinkie from a...
