This is my first post here. I've been reading all the posts for a month now and thought it's time to say hello. I just got my first hedgehog about 1 month ago from pet store. The owner said he was about 8 weeks old at the time, but reading your posts it may not be true. That's ok we love him no matter how old he is. His name is Dusty and it looks like he is a salt and pepper pinto hedgie. He used to ride on his wheel every night and I would have to clean it every morning, but the past few days he hasn't used the wheel. I don't know why??? His home hasn't changed...any ideas?

What kind of wheel does your hedgie have?

Have you checked the feet for any abrasions or wounds?

How many nights has he gone without wheeling?

Has there been any change in his eating habits? How does his stool and urine look (you would be looking for green colored stool and possibly blood in the urine).

:)
