Should I give my hedgehog mealies at 8 weeks? Because I heard you should keep your hedgehog on the same food for 6 weeks before giving him a new food. I know it's over 6 weeks, but I'm still not so sure.
Thank you, he has happily eaten TWO meal worms.Zalea said:How long have you had the hedgie? I'm not sure where the 6 week thing comes from as I've never heard 6 weeks exactly, unless you mean taking 6 weeks to gradually switch to a new kibble... If your hedgie has had time to settle in (meaning you've had him for 1-2 weeks and he's comfortably settled in to his new home with no green stress poops anymore), then you can introduce him to mealies. Only give him 1-2 if he's never had them before, as they could upset his tummy otherwise. After a week or so of that without green poop reactions, then you can try giving 3-4.
