So Nala is just 2 months and 2 weeks right now and I've only had her for a week. She's pretty much grumpy most of the time while inside her bin during the day but when I take her outside to bond, she'd be running around and doesn't like being held and just likes to run. I usually just put her down because she'd try running away from my hands and I'm afraid of dropping her.
Here's the thing, her enclosure is a black storage bin that is around 9 or 10" high and likes to try to escape every after I bond with her. She doesn't usually do this during the day or before I take her out but frequently do so whenever I put her back. The problem is that recently, I've been noticing that she's like dragging her hind legs and falling on her right side after so many attempts of escaping. Due to fear of broken legs, I put her back outside and she'd be speeding off like nothing happened. I'm afraid she has WHS. The breeder whom I got her from said that her lineage is clean.
I'm using wood-based bedding/chips and it's roughly around a 80 or 85L bin. I don't have a wheel YET because it's too expensive here in the Philippines. I want to have her checked but I'm not sure if the vets around here accept hedgehogs.
