i’ve been very sleep deprived and overworked this week. I was doing Harrington’s weekly cage deep clean, and had her on the ground next to me rolled up in her sac and some blankets. I was filling her litter pan when I went to sit down, and realized after 30 seconds that I had just sat down...

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...

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...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help? My hedgehog is around 1 and a half and has grown a small bump on his face. is it possible for them to get ingrown whiskers? Or acne? our closest hedgehog vet is a long way away so I figured I would ask here first. He doesn’t seem to be in any pain just his...

Frisk has a swollen toe. I took him to the vet. He got oral meds twice a day for 7 days and a soap to bathe his foot in. 9 days later, it's still swollen if not a bit bigger. I dont know what to do. I definitely can't afford tests done on him. It doesn't seem to be bothering him much. I'm...

So I’ve notice a couple days ago that my hedgehog isn’t eating as much and there’s barely any poop in her cage. Today I got some syringes and pure pumpkin, i fed some to her (about 1 tsp, most of it got on her face). Im going to wait until tomorrow (continuously feeding her pumpkin) and see if...

I am currently taking care of two hedgies: a 1 y/o male called Huxley and a ~8 month old female one called Peebles. I heard the girl squeaking at night around three times? One of which I saw her doing it while peeing. Her beeding has been making it hard for me to distinguish if her pee's...

My boy King Robert had a lump of goo growing out his back before we lanced and drained it. Of note: the skin was perfect, no dryness, scaling, redness, swelling, literally no indication of something wrong other than the bump. We suspect it was just a zit or an ingrown quill but it's his second...

Hi all, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not, so I'm sorry about that. First time posting. I have a hedgehog who is a little over a year old. He's a grumpy little guy, but things are going well with him. I recently upgraded to a pretty big cage for him, so I have an...

I have decided that it's definitely time for Prudence to have a check up. She hasn't been running on her wheel since October, and has recently been much less active in her playpen. For the longest time since October she was very active outside of her cage, eating everything, drinking lots of...

Hello, I have a 5yr old African Pygmy named Snuggles. for the past 4 years he has had very little quills and very dry skin. I have taken him to 3 exotic vets and they have all done tests that came back negative for anything and i was told that as long as he was eating/pooping/acting normal that...
