Instead of "Nanny" Cams, I installed a Hedgie Cam in my expectant mother's cage. Now I can non-intrusively observe her without worrying her so much. Also, since it is linked to my website and streaming live online I can keep an eye on her when I'm away or bored at work.

If any of you all are interested it's really easy. Just install the webcam where you want it and use a free web streaming site (I used camstreams.com, but I'm sure there are others out there) and voila!

For an example: http://www.pricklypigs.weebly.com check out the Live!

9-26-08 edit: Congrats to Sprinkles on her hoglets. From the amount of wiggling under the fleece, I'd going to guess Ms. Sprinkles is one busy momma.

That's so cool! When is their 'bedtime' when the screen is black?

 

[pricklypigs]

Typically their bedtime is around 11pm - 12am until 9am (which is actually their awake time since they are nocturnal). Lately the camera has been disconnected due to my own need for the computer, but it should be fixed and up again shortly.

 

[AllQuills]

Thanks. Let me know when the camera's back up!
